The Ukrainian labor market is undergoing a profound transformation, with professions at the intersection of security expertise and civilian technologies already setting new standards for teamwork.
On June 27, representatives from DroneUA's HR department, including Taras Kadygrib, HR Director, and recruiter Alla Gorbashchenko, participated in the specialized training event "Weapons. Veterans - Strengthen Your Team with Veterans." The event focused on the transformation of the labor market and the integration of specialists with security experience into strategic sectors of the Ukrainian economy.
As a leading Ukrainian company in the field of robotics and unmanned technologies, DroneUA has a unique track record in integrating specialists from diverse professional backgrounds into a high-tech environment, creating opportunities for career development in the high-tech industry. For 11 years, the company has been systematically building expertise at the intersection of agricultural technology, energy security, robotics, and automation. DroneUA demonstrates that the diverse skills of employees drive the development of innovative solutions and create new professions for the Ukrainian market.
Recent experience shows that over 40% of new agricultural professionals have retrained from other fields, including security. Hard skills, such as the ability to work with complex engineering systems and technical literacy, combined with soft skills like stress tolerance, quick learning, and self-discipline, provide a solid foundation for mastering new fields in energy security, robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence.
Today, hybrid professions that combine security and civilian backgrounds are gradually becoming the norm in the Ukrainian labor market. Another trend is the accelerated convergence of industries, where professionals with technical expertise and high adaptability have a clear advantage in the face of rapid change. Given these fundamental shifts, there is an increasing demand for out-of-the-box thinking and flexible team roles.
Keeping pace with trends and understanding the needs of both the candidate market and industries as a unified system, DroneUA follows an effective strategy that includes:
- Investments in human capital development;
- Creation of new professions through a range of educational initiatives and curriculum modernization;
- Building sustainable connections between security experience and civilian technological roles.
By fostering an environment that supports professional growth and the integration of specialists with unique experience, the company is helping to establish new labor standards in high-tech industries that are vital to Ukraine's economic sustainability.
The future of robotics, automation, and security systems lies in the synergy of competencies and values, where veterans are playing an increasingly important role in driving these changes.
DroneUA is grateful to the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine for organizing the training and providing valuable insights.
