The article is devoted to the study of the problem of professional training and retraining of unemployed citizens as an element of active employment policy. The authors consider professional training as an effective way to increase the competitiveness of employment service clients in a dynamically changing labor market, highlight its strengths and weaknesses in the organizational aspect, and note the possibility of using new formats in a pandemic situation. Analysis of statistics on the provision of vocational training and retraining services, as well as a survey of former unemployed clients of the employment service showed the demand for this service as one of the most effective in terms of employment.
