Center for employment for adolescents

Today, most teenagers start working from the age of 13-14. Find a suitable job at this age can be quite difficult, especially since not all organizations agree to accept a minor employee.

To solve the problem of temporary employment and vocational guidance for adolescents, in most employment centers in Russia and Ukraine special departments for working with minors have been opened. In addition, often the state employment center for adolescents has the character of an independent institution.

In this article, we will tell you what the functions of this unit are, what work the teenager can offer there, and what needs to be done to take advantage of the state temporary employment service.

How to find a job for teenagers through the employment center?

Any teenager between the ages of 14 and 18 can apply to the employment center for temporary employment, who has no serious restrictions on health work. To do this, he needs to write his own handwritten statement and submit a passport, SNILS and TIN.

If the young person is not yet 15 years old, he will have to additionally bring a written consent for the employment of one of the parents or guardian. This requirement applies to both Russian citizens and Ukrainian citizens. In addition, to speed up the time for review of the application, you can attach any documents confirming the presence of a teenager in difficult living conditions.

What vacancies can teenagers offer at the employment center?

A minor can perform work exclusively in his spare time and during school days, and the time he can devote to working life is strictly limited by law.

Both in Russia and in Ukraine, boys and girls aged 14-15 years during the school year should not work more than 2.5 hours a day, and the duration of the work week for them can be no more than 12 hours. Since the age of sixteen, boys and girls can work a little longer - up to 3.5 hours a day and 18 hours a week. During the holidays, this time, respectively, increases by 2 times.

In addition, according to the law, citizens who have not reached the age of 18 can not work in difficult and harmful conditions, carry out business trips and dangerous errands that can harm health, stay overtime and so on. This, of course, narrows the range of search for possible vacancies, so young children in the employment center can offer quite a few options, for example:

It is worth noting that in such institutions it is not only possible to temporarily employ a teenager, but also absolutely free to help him decide on the choice of the future profession. Quite often in these centers, tests are conducted aimed at identifying the inclinations, preferences and interests of young men and women.

In addition, in such institutions, the child can enroll in courses for the training of the chosen specialty, conducted during his free time. In case of successful completion of such courses, the employment center will assist the adolescent in finding employment, including after graduation.
