In the heart of Siberia, the Omsk region is taking a significant step towards supporting its military veterans and active participants of the Special Military Operation (СВО). The "ПРОдвижение ГЕРОЕВ" program, launched in February 2025, is an educational and career development initiative designed to facilitate their social adaptation and professional growth[1][3][4].
The program targets veterans and currently serving fighters of the Special Military Operation from the Omsk region[1]. The purpose of the program is to provide them with civilian professions and career prospects after their military service, enabling them to contribute effectively to the development of the Omsk region and the country as a whole[1][2][4].
Key aspects of the program include:
- Educational Training: Starting in September 2025, the program features five main modules, including practical internships at key regional enterprises[1].
- Personalized Support: Each participant (75 finalists selected since February 2025) is assigned a personal mentor from top regional government officials such as deputy heads of the regional government, ministers, and department heads[1].
- Selection Process: Participants completed registration, essay writing, testing, and profile orientation interviews[1].
- Objective: To help participants gain skills in state and municipal governance and enable their successful transition into civilian roles[1][2][4].
The program was established by directive from President Vladimir Putin to support those involved in the special military operation[1].
Regional Support
The Governor of Omsk region, Vitaliy Khotsenko, actively oversees and supports the program, highlighting the importance of these future specialists for the region’s development[1][2]. Government officials serve as mentors, illustrating strong institutional backing. The program includes collaboration with key regional enterprises for internships, indicating integration with the local economy[1].
It is part of a broader regional focus on social projects and cultural initiatives supported by the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives and other government efforts aimed at regional prosperity[2].
Upon completion of the program, participants can be included in the regional personnel reserve[1]. Thus, "ПРОдвижение ГЕРОЕВ" is a government-backed educational and mentoring program aimed at reintegrating SVO participants into civilian roles with the goal of leveraging their experience for regional development and state governance capacity building[1][3][4].
