Parental leave is a great time to learn something new. Often it is on maternity leave that a woman begins to think: does she like her current job or is it time to retrain and even get additional education.

IN Chelyabinsk region implemented Government program"Promotion of employment of the population of the Chelyabinsk region for 2015-2019". One of the directions of the program is the organization vocational training and additional vocational education women who are on maternity leave until they reach the age of three.

How to take part in the program?

1. Contact the employment center in your area.

2. Take with you your passport or a document replacing it, the birth certificate of the child (children), a copy of the document related to work and confirming that you are on parental leave.

3. Fill out an application (a sample can be taken at the employment center or on the website www.szn74.ru).

An employment service specialist will select a profession (specialty) taking into account your wishes, education, professional qualifications, and the end date of parental leave.

Important! Obtaining higher or secondary vocational education in the direction of the employment service is not provided. Training lasts from 1 to 5 months, depending on the chosen specialty.

Women undergo retraining and advanced training at courses in professions: accountant, cook, confectioner, nurse, paramedic, cutter, hairdresser, manicurist, personnel manager, teacher preschool education, photographer, administrator, clerk, computer and computer operator (with specialization), etc.

After training, a woman can leave the decree to her former place of work or try herself in a new profession at a new workplace.

Zhangabulova Lilia, mother of three children, lives in the village of Narovchatka, Chelyabinsk region. From 2011 until her maternity leave, she worked as an inspector in a correctional colony in the Chelyabinsk region.

“While on vacation, I thought about self-development and a possible change of profession. To implement my plan, I turned to the Employment Center of the Agapovsky District. The inspector suggested that I be trained in a new profession. In the spring of 2016, I started training in the specialty "hairdresser",- shared Lilia Nagashbaevna.

The training took about 4 months, took place in training center Business and Health, Magnitogorsk. The students were provided with all the materials necessary for practical classes (shampoo, paints, scissors). Clients came to practical classes ready to trust the students.

“After training, friends, neighbors who knew me began to contact me with the wishes to change their image, do their hair for an event,- says the newly minted hairdresser. - I am now back from maternity leave and continue to work. But after I retire, I plan to open my own hairdresser.”

But that's not all!

Citizens who applied to the employment service and were recognized as unemployed can receive public services:

- on vocational training (to get a profession necessary for starting a business and in demand on the labor market);

– self-employed (get free consultation and financial assistance from the state for paperwork to start a business).

Also in the Chelyabinsk region there is a new subprogram until 2020 to provide subsidies to people with disabilities. If a disabled person decides to start his own business, he will be provided with a subsidy in the amount of 67,620 rubles. This is the maximum unemployment benefit for the year. The subsidy compensates for the costs of: acquisition of fixed assets, rent of an office or production facility, purchase of licensed software, etc.

Since the program provides compensation, the disabled person must already have start-up capital in order to open their own business. This year, a subsidy for compensation will be allocated to 10 disabled people. To do this, a disabled person must apply to the employment service at the place of his residence, register, be recognized as unemployed, register his own business. Or there may be another situation: the disabled person was already registered as unemployed, he opened his own business. In both cases, compensation must be applied for within 3 months from the date of deregistration at the employment service.

Anyone can be in trouble life situation and, as a result, to receive the status of the unemployed. This is facilitated by various factors: downsizing, voluntary dismissal, graduation from a university or college.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to solve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

It's fast and FOR FREE!

For any category of people who are looking for a job, the doors to the employment center are open. In addition to state social payments, the temporarily unemployed have the opportunity to take training, retraining and advanced training courses.

Legal basis

According to Article 37 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, any citizen has the right to protection from unemployment. Article 38 allows the unemployed to count on social benefits, provided that the citizen is registered at the employment center and considered officially unemployed.

To be awarded such a status, a Russian must show a desire to find an area of ​​employment and agree to a suitable job offered by the Employment Center (hereinafter referred to as EPC).

An offer that corresponds to the age, state of health, work experience and qualifications of the applicant is considered suitable.

Unsuitable will be a vacancy associated with a change of residence without the consent of a citizen, with a salary below the average salary of a person received over the past 3 months at his last place of work.

The condition does not apply to applicants whose earnings before dismissal were higher than the average monthly salary of a working person in the region.

Functions of the labor exchange

The main task of the exchange is to provide work for maximum number applicants.

To do this, the staff of the CZN must:

  • analyze and predict supply and demand for the working part of the population;
  • accounting for the number of vacancies and demand for them;
  • consulting people about their capabilities and requirements of the company;
  • assistance not only in finding a job, but also in finding employees for the organization;
  • The CZN is obliged, if necessary, to organize training courses for a citizen in special training centers, and the exchange will also help with the choice of their specialization;
  • pay unemployment benefits at the time of finding a suitable job;
  • EPC must also prepare job offers for foreign citizens

You need to know that not everyone can get the status of unemployed. There are 2 conditions: working age and the ability to perform a particular job.

Who can get through

As of 2019, the following categories of citizens have the opportunity to take free courses at the Employment Center:

  • disabled people;
  • parents or adoptive parents raising disabled minors;
  • a person who is looking for a job and has been registered with the stock exchange for more than 6 months;
  • student of any educational institution;
  • a retired soldier;
  • a military man who served on conscription, but was fired within 3 years;
  • a person with no qualifications.

preferential right

There are categories of people who can qualify for preferential status when applying for unemployment benefits. For example, orphans. If the applicant confirms his preferential status, he will be assigned unemployment benefits in a special amount.

Upon reaching the age of 23, if suitable job not yet found, the person loses his privileged status, from now on he will receive benefits on the same terms as the rest.

Another privileged category are the disabled. But only a disabled person of the 3rd group can apply for special conditions. To do this, he needs to confirm his illness officially and with necessary documents go to the stock exchange. There he will be assigned an increased allowance and will be helped with the selection of suitable vacancies.

What courses are offered

In addition, the employment center offers training in almost any specialty. Among them are about 100 options for working specialists and about 80 business specializations.

Below are the most common specialties in which the applicant will be able to receive free training:

  • hairdresser;
  • security activities;
  • accountant;
  • elevator service;
  • tourism manager;
  • nursing;
  • cook;
  • programmer;
  • category B and C driver, as well as a tram and trolleybus driver;
  • tailor;
  • warehouse and transport logistics.

Passed courses give a guarantee for successful employment, a person is issued a certificate of qualification.

For mums on maternity leave

The labor exchange has created a special program, according to which a mother who is on maternity leave for a child under 3 years old and officially employed can receive additional education, take retraining courses, or acquire other skills.

Training, depending on the chosen specialization, can take place at any university or other educational institution that cooperates with the ESC.

Even if the applicant is offered to study in a neighboring city, there is no need to worry, all payments for travel and accommodation will be covered by the exchange. Training can take place in person, in absentia, in the evening and even remotely.

For registration, you must submit an application, passport, birth certificate and a document confirming your employment and parental leave to the employment center.

Below is a list of courses for which maternity leave is possible:

  • accountant;
  • 1C specialist;
  • computer coder;
  • Web Designer;
  • programmer;
  • personnel management.

A complete list of professions can be clarified by contacting the CZN at the place of residence.

How to enroll

After registration, a citizen needs to consider a job that will be periodically offered and, within three days, appear for an interview at the specified organization.

If during the year the applicant cannot choose a suitable job, he will have to accept any vacancy that does not require any skills.

Note that if a person refuses several offered vacancies, the payment of benefits will stop. As well as if you do not visit the EC at the set time.

What documents are needed

List of required papers:

Learning Features

The term of study is set from 1 to 6 months, depending on the chosen specialty. Groups of volunteers are recruited and sent to Educational establishment. During the training, you need to regularly attend them, if the student does not attend classes without a good reason, he will be excluded from the group.

How is the study allowance paid?

If you were sent to take courses from the Employment Center, then at the time of training you are required to receive a scholarship equal to the amount of your unemployment benefit.

When you complete the courses, you will need to pass an exam, after successfully passing it, you will be assigned the status of a specialist in the chosen field. Payments will be accrued to you until the end of training and subsequent employment.

There are a number of reasons why your allowance or scholarship will stop:

  1. The student arbitrarily refused to study.
  2. deduction.
  3. period of illness.
  4. Maternity leave.

Advantages and disadvantages

The training provided by the exchange has a number of advantages:

  • the opportunity to learn the necessary profession;
  • do it not only for free, but also receiving benefits;
  • providing new skills;
  • the ability to completely change the scope of activity;
  • high probability of subsequent employment;
  • obtaining a certificate of training after its completion;
  • the exchange has a special program for the disabled and those with a criminal record

But there is also back side question. Firstly, exchange employees are rarely interested in what you want to study in this moment. You will be offered the currently available seats. And if this does not suit you, you will have to wait for recruitment for a profession that is convenient for you.

The second point is not the fact that you will wait for it - if the specialty is narrow, it is likely that the exchange will not provide you with the opportunity to study it.

If you refuse the job offered several times, you may be deregistered, in which case you will not be able to complete the training at all. If a suitable vacancy is offered, it is likely that it will not suit the applicant with the salary.

Among other things, the employment center may offer to implement a citizen's business idea. For implementation, it is necessary to provide an accurate plan for the development of the future business. This is a fundamental factor, after reviewing the plan, the commission will determine whether the idea has the possibility of implementation in your city, and calculate the approximate income.

And if the idea is relevant, they will allocate a grant for development, which you will not need to return. There is also a chance to get an additional preferential loan if the business idea is approved.

Please note that the employment center provides only a part of the required amount for the first investment in development.

The rest you need to earn yourself. You can only receive a grant once. After approval, it is necessary to conclude an agreement on the provision of payment.

Women very often use the decree for self-development. Someone is attracted by creativity, someone by business, someone by training. Judging by the popularity of our article, this topic worries many mothers. Therefore, I would like to continue it and dwell in more detail on training during the decree. Moreover, 16% of the interviewed readers noted that it is this occupation that attracts them as an additional to childcare. This turned out to be the second most popular answer. Only needlework turned out to be more popular.

For convenience, I suggest downloading the proposed list of sites, designed in an Excel spreadsheet.

I put this site in the first place, because I started my online education from it and have already completed several educational courses here. What did I like about the Universarium?

Firstly, it is easy to register and navigate the site.

Secondly, a fairly wide selection of free courses on a variety of topics: economics, culture, media, management, psychology, and much more. Personally, I took a course on online journalism, marketing and project management. I signed up for a time management course.

Third, the project has free app, downloading which, you can view lectures anywhere from your gadget. This is very convenient when you have a child, and a family, and work, and snatching a free minute is not so easy. The application has a minus - you cannot take tests, and lectures viewed in the application are not marked in the profile as viewed.

Fourth, it's really FREE. All courses on the site are free, but in fairness it must be said that you still have to pay extra for advanced courses. For example, the project management course I reviewed was only partly free. Those who wanted to receive additional lectures, consultations and a webinar, as well as undergo additional testing, were offered to pay an additional 4900 rubles. But at the same time, if you score a certain number of points, you can get an additional certificate.

So, choose the right course. Sign up and wait for it to start. Usually each course has a specific start and end time. But you can join the training at any time, since lectures are available for the entire duration of the training and even a month after the end of the course.

Each course is divided into modules. At the end of the module, students are invited to take a test and complete homework for which points will be awarded. If you complete the entire course, you will even be given a certificate. True only in in electronic format, but it will be quite possible to use it for a resume.

University for those who want to get an online profession. It trains programmers, web designers, Internet marketers, as well as managers in the field of Internet projects. Professions are really in demand at the moment. Another plus of these professions (especially for mothers on maternity leave) is that you can get a job with them remotely.

As for training in netology, it has its pros and cons.

A huge plus is that virtual students are taught by teachers - practitioners. These are people working in the Internet business in significant positions. They have achieved certain results, gained good experience and share it with students. You will definitely learn practical skills from such teachers, and will not be doused with theoretical "water. In addition, you will use in practice everything that you will be taught there, and teachers will check and evaluate it.

Another plus is that upon successful completion of the courses, you will receive a certificate of advanced training and a Netology diploma. These documents, according to the founders of the project, are highly valued by market participants.

The downside is the cost. Education in netology is paid and not cheap. A full-fledged educational course will cost about 20,000 -25,000 rubles (depending on the course and its duration). You can watch individual video lectures if you do not need a whole course, but want to delve into one specific topic. Such video lectures usually cost 490 rubles. There is also free content. Netology offers some video lectures as trial ones, that is, absolutely free. They take place at a certain time, you also need to sign up for them, but then you can understand the level of teaching and decide whether it is worth spending your money on paid education in Netology.

Netology has also developed a mobile application that is designed to make learning here more convenient and mobile. But, at the moment, the application is not very convenient. It has a low rating among those who downloaded it. People complain that the player is not convenient - it does not allow you to pause and watch the video from the place where you left off. Many people cannot view lectures from a mobile phone that they paid for from a computer. And for some, including me, the video is simply not viewed. I hope this is a temporary phenomenon and the developers will eliminate all the inconveniences of the application.

Rapidly developing online school English language is striking in numbers: more than 5,000 teachers, more than 2.5 million lessons have been held since the founding of the school, about 34 thousand students are currently studying. The school has many advantages, but I will describe those that are especially convenient for moms studying on maternity leave:

    • free testing of the service - the first lesson is free
    • you can free of charge: cancel, reschedule the lesson, and also change the teacher if for some reason he did not fit
    • the school is licensed: a certificate is issued upon completion of training
    • all exercises are posted online, access to them is not limited
    • There is 24/7 customer support
  • has its own mobile application in which you can learn words in your free time

Intuit National Open University is another platform for online learning. Here you can improve your skills, take courses professional retraining, Mini MBA, school courses and many other educational courses. Topics are varied. What did I like? Here you can learn different programs. For example, 1C, Photoshop, 3Ds-max and many others. These practical skills are often not taught even in universities, while they are essential in real work.

Cons: Personally, I don't really like their interface. I think it's kind of outdated. But this is a matter of taste.

Payment: some courses are paid, some are free. Moreover, there are quite a lot of free ones, which cannot but rejoice.

Coursera offers free online courses from universities around the world. If you speak English, then you have excellent opportunities to gain world-class knowledge. Here you can listen to lectures from such powerful world Universities as Stanford, Michigan, California, Washington.

But for those who do not speak English so well, there is also something to learn in Coursera. In chapter " Educational establishments» select "Russia" and you will see a list of universities that offer their online courses.

Most courses on topics: business, computer science, data science. But you can also find courses in medicine, mathematics, music, languages.

The courses are mostly paid, but here's the system: you can watch lectures for free, but in order to pass the test and get a certificate, you will need to pay for the training.

By the way. For all courses, there is a so-called "financial aid", within which you can study for free. But for this you need to fill out a special questionnaire and go through the procedure for accessing assistance.

This e-learning platform was formed in 2013. Today on Zillion you can find a wide variety of courses that you can take online while on maternity leave.

Directions:

  • marketing
  • sales
  • business and finance
  • staff development
  • personal effectiveness

Upon completion of any of the courses, you will receive an electronic certificate. which can be attached, for example, to your LinkedIn profile.

The courses are not free, but not very expensive either - from 250 per course. Some courses can be previewed before purchase: watch the introductory part and decide if you want to watch further.

Because the educational portal Tichpro was developed with the support of the Foundation for Assistance to the Development of Small Forms of Enterprises in the Scientific and Technical Sphere, training here is partially free. Of course, there is also paid content, but free courses are more than enough!

Indeed, the choice of topics, courses, programs for training is huge. Here you can explore foreign languages and programming languages, master various programs (for example, photoshop, coral, illustrator) and even refresh school knowledge (a wide range of school programs is presented).

This online university focuses on student entrepreneurs. But I am sure that among women on maternity leave, there are many business women who want to develop their business and study in this direction. For such and such mothers, the Webuni project is suitable.

There are both paid and free lessons business and personal development. After you complete the training, you will have to take a final test. If you write the test successfully, you will receive an electronic certificate, which will be sent to you by mail.

This educational project designed for companies rather than individual independent students. Perhaps among my readers there are owners of their own business who will be interested in such a project. Here you can register your company and get a 14-day free demo. The training formats are very interesting, the training is maximally aimed at practical usefulness for business.

Well, it will complete our selection of sites offering distance learning for mothers on maternity leave (and not only for them), Open Education website. Here you can watch training courses from the leading universities of the country ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE. The great advantage of this site is that distance courses here are university professors, professionals in their field. In addition, in Open Education you can find very interesting rare topics that are not found anywhere else.

Another interesting and very convenient site option for many is the opportunity to credit a course at your university. If you are on maternity leave, but did not suspend your studies because of this, then it will be very convenient to view the course at home without looking up from the baby and credit it at the university.

So, that's it! I hope this selection will help all mothers on maternity leave get the necessary free online education and apply it to business.

If you don’t have time to check all educational resources right now, I remind you that the list of all the sites mentioned in this post can be found in the Excel file, which can be downloaded absolutely free just below or at the beginning of the article. Save it to your computer or phone, then you can safely go through the sites and choose the right one for you!

And finally, I propose to participate in a survey on the topic

Hello my dear readers! You know, my friend went on maternity leave, and at the same time went to study. I decided to discuss this important topic - training! I think each of you has acquaintances who continue to study, although they are on maternity leave. Yes, this is not new, even our grandmothers often said that children do not interfere with their studies!

However, the period of the decree does not always fall at the time of study at higher institution. More often, young mothers at the time of childbirth have already received their diplomas of vocational education. Then the question is - what to do on maternity leave? And is there any point and opportunity to go to school if there is a child, but, let's say, there are no means to acquire new skills? Let's figure it out!

Every willing young mother who is raising her baby and is on maternity leave (on parental leave) can go to study. But there are a few caveats here:

  • Basically, training takes place in Moscow (perhaps there are such courses in other settlements, this needs to be clarified separately);
  • a young mother can go to school if her baby is less than three years old;
  • the young mother is not (or is, but is on maternity or parental leave) in an employment relationship with the employer.

2. Where to apply for free education

Of course, in order to get the opportunity to study for free, you need to make an effort.

The first thing to do is to contact the appropriate place.

So, you can get a referral for training by contacting the departments of vocational training, career guidance and psychological support of the employment center.

3. What you need to apply for free education

There are not many conditions:

  • you need to contact the center and write an application for free courses;
  • your child must be less than three years old;
  • You can study only once for the entire period of the decree (for three years);
  • you do not work part-time (neither at home nor outside the home);
  • you have collected a complete package of documents necessary for applying (passport, birth certificate of your baby, certificate stating that you are really on maternity leave, as well as an application for free courses).

4. Where and how will the training take place

When applying for free courses at the employment center, it is important to know that you have the right to improve your skills, learn a new profession (on an accelerated basis) or improve your previously acquired knowledge (in your specialty).

You can also choose a training schedule that suits you. Usually this is a full-time or part-time study. It will last no more than 6 months.

Usually courses are held in universities at the expense of the state. Note: you can be sent to study in the region. There is nothing terrible in this: travel (and accommodation, if necessary) will be compensated for you, however, it will take much more time.

5. What the job center offers

When you make an application for free education, also do not forget to indicate which direction you are interested in. I'm talking about professional disciplines.

Typically, the employment center offers the following disciplines for you to choose from:

  • accounting;
  • office specialization;
  • range of services training;
  • trading business;
  • other professions.

If you have always dreamed of taking a cooking course, ask the employment center about such a profile. Perhaps you are now taking the first step towards your dream.

By the way, you may be denied access to free courses. This is the case if you have provided false data or the terms of the contract have not been complied with.

Are you dissatisfied with studying outside the home? Then you can turn to the Internet for help. The World Wide Web offers a huge number of free online courses. I propose to talk about this in a little more detail.

6. Free Online Courses

Not every young mother has a grandmother on a safety net. Exactly the same as the average woman does not have the opportunity to hire a nanny. But if there is a desire to learn, I suggest turning to the Internet.

By the way, even here there is a fairly large selection. Let's look at a few options:

  1. Universarium.org. Great site for homeschooling. There are over 70 lessons that were created by the best teachers from leading universities. There is an opportunity to watch video lessons, there are group classes, homework is provided, there is a final certification.
  2. Intuit.ru. Also a great place to get higher education, retraining or advanced training. However, all full course might cost you money. On the other hand, there are many free programs. Among the disciplines are both mathematical and humanitarian areas.
  3. Lektorium.tv/medialibrary. This site has a huge number of lectures and conferences. The choice of disciplines is impressive, however, it should be borne in mind that this platform is more aimed at improving skills and involves deepening into previously studied disciplines.
  4. Coursera.org. Great place for mums on maternity leave. There are plenty of free courses here. Moreover, in addition to the acquired knowledge, you may well qualify for a certificate.
  5. Netology-group.ru. This site is not the best free online learning platform. Moreover, in order to get full access to all the features of the site, you need to buy a paid account. Do not despair, without investments you can listen to webinars and receive Active participation in group conferences.
  6. Yandexdataschool.ru/edu-process/courses. Are you interested in IT areas? Then you are on this site. Here you can get knowledge for free in the following specialties: data analysis, computer science, and so on. The purpose of these courses is to train specialists for Yandex.
  7. workle.com. This site is an online platform for remote work. Before starting work, you can get free training. Directions of activity: insurance, tourism (selection and booking of tours, tickets, hotels and excursions), banking, work in a call center, etc.

In any case, if you wish, you can find a lot of opportunities for free education and diversify the everyday days of a housewife.
