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.

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.
