Furthermore, it commits to providing a full range of social services regarding assistance in employment, organisation of professional training, provision of vocational guidance services, and involvement in paid public works for individuals who have been released from places of detention and have applied to the employment centre for the purpose of seeking work.

The Centre also committed to conducting training sessions for individuals who are currently in places of detention and preparing for release, specifically in: Lychakiv Correctional Colony No. 30, Lviv Correctional Colony No. 48, and Sambir Educational Colony.
