It offered a chance for meaningful dialogue between government bodies, international organizations, and NGOs. We were honored to present our mentorship program Power Hub Zug during the event, contributing to the conversation on career development and integration support. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this a valuable experience: Mariia Dvornikova and Svitlana Dekhtiar.

Only collective power ignites real change. This spirit of collaboration and shared purpose filled the IntegraS Ukrainian-Swiss Platform in Bern last week, leaving us inspired and motivated to take action. Ukraine reborn, represented by Nadiia O., was proud to support this important platform as a sponsor of the event. We were grateful for the opportunity to contribute to discussions on integration and employment while also sharing our own initiatives, such as the USpring Mentorship, which empowers Ukrainians to build meaningful and prosperous lives in Switzerland. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We are grateful to work alongside our partners and colleagues, including VIDNOVA Ukrainian-Swiss Foundation, Power Hub Zug and BEVEL ON Association who tirelessly support Ukrainians on their path to adaptation and integration. Key insights from the forum were contributed by Samuel Wyss, State Secretariat for Migration SEM, Switzerland, and Adrian Gerber, Federal Department of Justice and Police FDJP: Strong employment support: The Swiss government aims to employ 40% of Ukrainian refugees, providing significant support through migration and social services. Planning horizon: Protection status S is extended until March 2026, with an additional 12-month departure period for those employed if protection is withdrawn, offering predictability to both employers and employees. Persistence pays off: Finding a job may take time and effort, but don’t give up! A huge thank you to the organizers, Olesia Tarasenko, and everyone involved in making the IntegraS Forum a success. Let’s continue working together to build a brighter future for Ukrainians in Switzerland. #UkraineReborn #IntegraS #Integration #Employment #Mentorship #Collaboration
