Armenia Works 4U Program
The Repat Armenia Foundation successfully implemented a pilot program “Armenia Works 4U” at the end of 2021 for the professional repatriation of Lebanese Armenians. 80% of those repatriated under this program are already continuing their careers in Armenia. Given the growing interest in repatriation and its exceptional importance for strengthening the Motherland, we expanded this program for Armenians living in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus in spring 2022.
We selected 34 participants and provided a special support package for the repatriation. This program was designed for those who are looking for a job, as well as for those who were already working and had the opportunity to work remotely from Armenia.
