What Wojewódzki Urząd Pracy w Szczecinie does

Wojewódzki Urząd Pracy w Szczecinie is a regional government administrative office headquartered in Szczecin, Poland, operating under the Marshal's Office of West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Established under Poland's Act on Labour Market and Employment Services, the office functions as the regional implementing institution for national labor market policy and European Social Fund Plus (EFS+) programming across the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, coordinating a network of 21 District Labor Offices (Powiatowe Urzędy Pracy). Its core services encompass the Zachodniopomorskie Obserwatorium Rynku Pracy (Labor Market Observatory providing statistical monitoring and barometers), EURES cross-border employment services, career counseling (Poradnictwo Zawodowe), the Krajowy Fundusz Szkoleniowy (National Training Fund), Fundusz Pracy (Labor Fund), Fundusz Gwarantowanych Świadczeń Pracowniczych (Guaranteed Employee Benefits Fund), the employment agency registry (Rejestr agencji zatrudnienia), and EU-cofinanced regional project programs (Zachodniopomorskie Bony Szkoleniowe, Zachodniopomorska Akademia PSZ). Operational technology centers on two institutional systems: the SL2021 application for managing EFS+ payment requests and the SOWA EFS request management system for project applications, both integrated with Poland's ePUAP electronic public administration platform for digital document handling.

WUP serves three primary constituency groups: employers (Polish and EU/EEA) accessing recruitment support, EURES services, and training subsidies; unemployed and job-seeking individuals receiving job matching, vocational counseling, training vouchers, and unemployment benefit coordination; and institutions including District Labor Offices, vocational training providers, and employment agencies operating under WUP's regulatory oversight in the region. The office also maintains statutory advisory bodies including the Wojewódzka Rada Rynku Pracy (Voivodeship Labor Market Council) and the Wojewódzki Zespół Koordynacji do spraw Polityki Umiejętności (regional skills policy coordination team).

The revenue model is non-commercial. WUP operates on public appropriations allocated through the Polish national budget and European Union funds (primarily EFS+ within Fundusze Europejskie dla Pomorza Zachodniego 2021-2027), channeled via the Ministry of Family and Social Policy and the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy. All services are provided free of charge to eligible beneficiaries. Marketing and outreach is conducted through the official website (wup.pl), a categorized email newsletter covering EU funds, labor market news, and employment programs, and recurring training events and webinars for project beneficiaries, with no paid customer acquisition motion.
