The first personnel center in the Don, “Work of Russia”, opened in Taganrog

Rostov region, January 13, 2022. DON24.RU. The first personnel training center in the Rostov region opened in Taganrog, reports the press service of the Don government.

Large-scale modernization of the employment service in the region is taking place within the framework of the federal project “Promotion of Employment” of the national program “Demography”.

“The personnel center that we are opening today features new services, easy navigation, functional areas for working with visitors, digital services, personal consultants, and convenient access to a vacancy bank. This is a new type of personnel center, where job seekers and employers can receive a range of services in the field of employment using modern approaches and technologies. And it is very important that the implementation of this project began in Taganrog, since the issue of comprehensive development of Taganrog is under the special control of the head of the region Vasily Golubev,” noted Deputy Governor of the region Artem Khokhlov, who was present at the opening.

Modernization has affected the external image that has developed in the minds of clients of the employment service, and the staff: employees are being retrained, and their main task is now to become career and personnel consultants.

At the same time, the employment service as a modern personnel center is reoriented from providing individual services to solving a whole range of issues in accordance with the life situation of clients or the business situation of employers. It is planned to gradually transfer government services to a digital format, which will help save time for visitors to employment centers.

“We expect that about 14 thousand citizens and more than 1000 employers will be able to use the services of the new center annually,” said Irina Shapkina, director of the Taganrog Employment Center.

The “Employment Promotion” project of the national program “Demography” provides for the implementation of measures to modernize one employment center annually until 2024. It is planned to create three more similar centers on the Don.

In foreign literature, the city was mentioned in the title of Der Tote von Taganrog

by Eberhard von Cranach-Sichart and
Taganrog
by Reinhold Schneider.

In 2004, Sabina Wichert published a collection of poems " Taganrog"

.

In Maria Kuntsevichova's 1945 novel The Stranger (New York, LB Fischer), the city of Taganrog plays an important role as a place of nostalgic happiness for the exiled Polish musician and matriarch Rosa.

The “reset” of Taganrog began with the visit of the Speaker of the Federation Council

The starting point for creating the “road map” can be considered the visit of Federation Council Chairman Valentin Matvienko to the Rostov region in September last year. Then she visited the Sambek Heights memorial complex, as well as Taganrog itself, noting the high tourism potential of the city and region. The speaker promised that she would provide budget support to develop tourism there.

“Taganrog is Peter’s city, and she was the governor of St. Petersburg...”, Don Governor Vasily Golubev explained the motives of the federal official on the air of the regional TV channel Don24.

At the same time, according to Deputy Governor Alexander Scriabin, with the support of the head of the region, the city administration took the initiative to develop a set of measures for the development of Taganrog as a tourist center. In terms of tourism development, a comprehensive balneological study of the territory, classification of the beaches of the sea coast, and installation of tourist navigation signs were planned. The project also included the holding of events that have become the hallmark of the city: the “Defense of Taganrog 1855” and “Umbrella Morning” festivals, the Chekhov regatta “The Seagull”, the Chekhov Theater Festival. The creation of an exposition of the local history museum (Alferaki Palace) and activities to promote the city within the framework of the tourist brand of the “Free Don” region were also noted.

However, this was a list of far from the most financially intensive events. Much more large-scale work includes the reconstruction of roads, improvement of popular city locations, and development of a hotel complex. The organization of regular passenger transport by water transport between tourist centers not only in the region, but also in the south of Russia was also considered. All this should attract more tourists to the city. However, specific targets were never presented.

The only attempt to attract the public to such a large-scale project was that until February 14, a call for proposals from Taganrozh residents was announced. More than 300 messages were sent to the city administration's email address. Then all of them were analyzed and structured by the administration staff. As a result, until 2023, they planned activities “with a confirmed budget” to organize festivals, modernize the track and power grid, update the rolling stock of city electric transport, repair and restoration of facades and roofs of historical buildings, and modernize the water supply and sewerage system. In the longer term, it is planned to modernize the lines of outdoor lighting networks, reclaim the solid waste landfill, develop a set of rules and recommendations for the formation of a unified design code, as well as improvement and reconstruction of streets and beaches, water supply systems, and bank protection works.

In March, information appeared on the regional administration’s website about the creation of a working group for the integrated development of the city as a tourist center. It consists of 32 people, the vast majority of whom are regional and municipal officials. Only five from this list are representatives of public organizations and businesses. The group was led by Alexander Scriabin.
