Voluntary Labor Corps is an institution established under the provisions of employment promotion and labor market institutions, the aim of which is to support young people in employment and counteract marginalization and social exclusion.
Voluntary Labor Corps are a state budget unit, and their activities are supervised by the minister responsible for labor.
The activities of the Voluntary Labor Corps focus on education, employment and financial support for employers.
First of all, the OHP offer training programs that enable young people who have not completed primary school to acquire professional qualifications and supplement their education. In addition, the OHP deal with job placement and organize employment for young people, including unemployed people up to 25 years of age. In addition, they also offer career counseling and career information centers. The OHP can refund the costs of salaries and social insurance contributions of young employees, which encourages employers to employ young people.
The OHP cooperate with government administration units, public employment services and local governments. OHP can enter into agreements that define goals and tasks, which allows for better adaptation of activities to local youth needs.
Voluntary Labor Corps play a key role in supporting youth, offering a wide range of educational and employment services. Thanks to cooperation with various institutions and the system of reimbursement of wages for young employees, OHP contribute to improving the situation of young people on the labor market and counteracting their marginalization.
This is particularly important, considering that OHP services are used primarily by young people who have problems obtaining an education or are at risk of social exclusion.
