Additionally, the Deputy Chairman stated that in the context of recent events at the STS, it has been ordered to carry out urgent full recertification of the tax employees: “We will do our best to hold the most transparent competitions for obtaining vacant posts, we will develop new qualification requirements and you need to become leaders in these tasks” – Dmytro Ventskovskyi appealed to the students.
He advised the new tax employees adhere to the oath and “letter of the law”, as well as to work with dignity and honestly perform their duties.
In turn, Head of the Main Directorate of the STS in Kyiv Nonna Bahmet assured that the young employees will have full support and assistance. Addressing her future colleagues, she emphasized: “Self-education is a contribution to the development of the Service, strengthening its authority.”
All participants expressed their sincere hopes for continuation of the project and involvement of more students in the dual education program in this and subsequent years. Among other things, all present attendants noted the fact that dual form of education has already been approved at the legislative level, since the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed the law on improving higher education.
It should be reminded that this project is a continuation of the Quadrilateral Memorandum on the Implementation of Dual Education signed in June last year between the State Tax Service, German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), the SFS University and Kyiv School of Economics.
