In pursuance of Presidential Decree No. 606 of May 7, 2012, an Action Plan has been implemented since 2012 aimed at creating conditions for women to combine the responsibilities of raising children with employment. The main activity is vocational training and additional vocational education for women during the period of parental leave until the child reaches the age of three years. Employment centers provide this service for women.

Despite the entry into force in 2013 of the provisions of the Federal Law of July 2, 2013 No. 162-FZ “On Amendments to the Law of the Russian Federation “On Employment in the Russian Federation” in terms of preventing discrimination in the labor market, women experience difficulties in finding work, face gender discrimination in employment. In order to strengthen the position of women in the labor market, a vocational training program for women has been organized during the period of maternity leave until the child reaches the age of three years. To receive a referral for training, you do not need to register with the Employment Center as an unemployed citizen. It is enough for a woman to contact the territorial employment center at her place of residence and provide a number of documents: a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a child’s birth certificate, a copy of the order from the place of work “On the provision of parental leave upon reaching the age of three years,” educational documents.

A woman fills out an application for state vocational training services. The employment center specialist finds out what type of training the woman needs (vocational training, retraining or advanced training). Makes a decision on providing a service or refusing it, introduces the list of educational institutions and their educational programs. Just as when sending unemployed citizens to training, an agreement is concluded with the woman on sending her to vocational training. The costs of vocational training include the following costs: payment for educational services to the educational institution, travel costs to the place of study and back if studying in another area, medical examination, payment for accommodation. The scholarship is not paid during the study period. The duration of training takes from 1 to 3 months, depending on the type of vocational training, profession, or specialty chosen by the woman.

One of the main problems for women on maternity leave is a long break from work, which often leads to loss of qualifications. It’s good if the expectant mother went on maternity leave from the workplace, where she is expected, where after returning to work she can gradually restore her professional knowledge. There are other situations when there is nowhere to go, and enterprises are in no hurry to hire a young woman who has a child at home and who is not able to compete with those who are constantly expanding their professional level. There are often cases when women, for various reasons, do not want to return to their previous workplace and, in order to find a more suitable job, they need to improve their qualifications. Some women, during their maternity leave, decide to change their field of activity and need to acquire a new profession.

Thanks to participation in the event, women gain new knowledge necessary to transfer to jobs with more suitable conditions for them. In addition, they start work after a long absence from the workplace prepared, which increases the possibility of their social adaptation in the team and the successful combination of their professional activities with raising children.

Vocational training and additional vocational education for women during the period of parental leave until the child reaches the age of three is a unique opportunity both for the women themselves to acquire the necessary professional knowledge free of charge, and for their employers to obtain a ready-made employee with the necessary training without spending their own funds.


Today there is a social program for free advanced training and professional retraining for young mothers on maternity leave.

Training of women during the period of parental leave is carried out in accordance with the Decree of the Moscow Government dated January 17, 2013 No. 1-PP "On approval of the Procedure for sending women to the employment service of the population of the city of Moscow during the period of parental leave until they reach the age of three years for vocational training, retraining and advanced training."
