On 16 August 2022, IOM Migration Information Centre in cooperation with Bottova Assistance Centre in Bratislava conducted a workshop Welcoming Slovakia for 18 temporary refuge holders from Ukraine.

The participants also appreciated information about free counselling and services of the IOM MIC they could benefit from. Photo © International Organization for Migration (IOM) 2022.

The participants learnt:

• what the basics of Slovak labour law are,
• what types of employment contracts there are,
• what the rights of employees in Slovakia are,
• how to look for a job in a safe way using web portals,
• how to interact with work agencies,
• what the red flags that could indicate risky job advertisements are.

Similarly to Bratislava, but in an online format, IOM in cooperation with a community centre Trenčín pomáha Ukrajine (Trencin helps Ukraine) held a workshop in Ukrainian language for Ukrainian nationals on 17 August 2022. Altogether 16 participants in the premises of the Cultural Centre Activity in Trenčín benefited from important facts provided online from Bratislava by IOM consultants.
