RECENT INITIATED & IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS
In December 2020, initiated a social responsibility program, which is aimed at supporting those who have participated in military actions, gained temporary or permanent physical disabilities and/or post-traumatic stress disorder and have been demobilized. The goal of the project is to reduce the gap between skills of the workforce and the needs of employers as a result of the overall crisis situation in Armenia.
The project, on one hand, targets about 1,000+ young people aged 18-30, with whom professional interviews will be conducted (competencies and desires). On the other hand, the project intends to cooperate with around 500 organizations and institutions to measure their requirements in the workforce. Based on the obtained data, matching, professional orientation programs, training and development courses in different professional directions, upskilling and reskilling programs (mostly in the segment of TVET) will be organized.

In 2020, with a joined partnership, initiated and implemented the "GortsON" 1st Marathon aimed to support people who have lost their jobs because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Served as a whole Marathon leader and held a master class about the 10 main principles of Human Resource Management as well.
The second wave of the Marathons will be a series of professional master classes aimed to bring out the necessary skillsets and knowledge of the organizations and pass them to the participants to make them competitive and required in the labor market.
Since May 2020, organize and lead the series of on-line professional meetings with successful and experienced professionals to reflect on different occupations, educate and help youth about their career choices and concentrate on the new trends. The aim is to distinguish and showcase what the youth should learn, what skills they need to develop and how to approach their profession today to have a clear action plan, to keep pace with time and be competitive in the market.


Conversations on Career Orientation
Organized a series of free webinars on different Career Orientation programs worldwide, where we hosted people from all corners of the world, who had success stories in the field, had developed techniques that will are helpful for both those in need of career orientation and those providing it and share their professional advice offered tips on how to take the most interesting career path for a certain personality.
From 2020, Cascade People & Business has been working on a completely new tool that will transform the sphere of salary review and set new trends to give an objective overview on compensation package of different occupations.
The tool launched in September of 2022 offers a novel approach with a novel methodology in the field of salary market research. The survey includes more than 50 companies from the Armenian market for each job position, as a result of which companies will have an opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of the market. The developed approach is aimed at ensuring fast pace and flexibility through a simplified questionnaire. As a result, a complete and comprehensive analytical report is prepared for each position, which summarizes the full results of the salary survey according to different criteria. This product gives local small and medium companies an opportunity to participate in a salary survey research and get the report at an affordable price.
