Lukashenka promised to preserve the first workplace assignment for youth

Aliaksandr Lukashenka stated that Belarus would keep the standard of providing youth with the first workplace assignment.

According to him, not every state can afford such standard.

“We, too, had heated debates lately on what we should do in this regard as we faced serious economic challenges. Some suggested giving up on this practice saying that university graduates should be left on their own. I was totally against this. We decided to preserve this opportunity for all of you to get a job and to work. But the rest is on you,” the President said when speaking at the national gala for university graduates.

He also noted that he could see the eagerness of young generation to work productively and take the initiative. “And I welcome this. After all, it will be you who will harness new technologies, develop manufactures and services industry, raise the Belarusian culture and science to the leading positions in the world,” BelTA quotes Aliaksandr Lukashenka saying.
