The assessment of the level of motivation for work is based on the method of
independent characteristics [CEFIR. 2012; Russia and the European Union. 2017].

Thus, as a result of the profiling procedure, the unemployed can be divided into
three groups:
1. High employment potential, that is, those who are ready to start working in a
relatively short time.
2. Those with medium-sized entrepreneurial potential, that is, those who are able to
start working in general, but have difficulties in finding a job.
3. All other employees, i.e. those with low employment potential, were not ready to
start.

The first group of unemployed is offered important comprehensive services to
provide the necessary assistance in finding a job, which include services related to
qualifications, training in the specialty, etc. The second group of unemployed
people, with psychological support, is sent to profiling programs in their specialty,
to social work, etc.

In Azerbaijan, this procedure is considered one of the most important active
employment measures, the organization of vocational training and additional
education courses carried out by the State Employment Service bodies. Vocational
training courses are organized taking into account the real needs of the labor market
and employers in order to expand the employment opportunities of citizens, develop
self-employment, increase the competitiveness in the labor market of those
registered as unemployed and job seekers in the local bodies of the State
Employment Service under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the
Population.Vocational training and additional education courses are conducted, as a
rule, on the basis of curricula agreed with the Ministry of Labor and Social
Protection of the Population of the Republic of Azerbaijan, developed and approved
by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Vocational training
courses are conducted on the basis of 86 traditional, 58 modular training programs in
educational institutions with an appropriate base in accordance with contracts with
Employment Centers. 15 modular programmes were developed within the
framework of the United Nations Development Programme, and 43-within the
framework of the project “Development of social protection” implemented by the
World Bank. The "Action Plan for the implementation of the Employment Strategy
for 2020-2025", approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan dated February 13, 2020, provides for the preparation and updating of
competence-based modular training programs for vocational training in 2020-2025.
