Millions of people are fleeing the war zones in Ukraine. Many have lost their jobs and their livelihoods. While immediate support is needed in terms of housing and basic resources, these people will need to earn a living to provide for their families and regain financial security - also as a means to help reinvest in the rebuilding of their country. Therefore we are determined to help as many Ukrainian refugees as possible, which includes Ukrainians and anyone who has fled from Ukraine including BPOC students and workers, to find work. Despite this terrible situation, we want to help give all Ukrainian refugees a perspective for a better future - and this includes a job.
Therefore tbd* is offering FREE job listings to anyone who has committed to employing a person who has fled from Ukraine. To redeem a free listing, go here and use the code SupportUkraine when checking out. This code can also be used by help organizations working with Ukrainian refugees.
In addition, we have assembled a list of job platforms and employment resources focused on supporting Ukrainian refugees.
Jobs for Ukrainian Refugees:
JOB AID UKRAINE
Job aid for Ukrainian refugees supports people who had to leave their country. They want to bring jobseekers and employers together to support the integration into the European labor market and bring back financial security for those who were uprooted due to the war in Ukraine. https://www.jobaidukraine.com/
