Wojewódzki Urząd Pracy w Rzeszowie

What Wojewódzki Urząd Pracy w Rzeszowie does

Wojewódzki Urząd Pracy w Rzeszowie (WUP Rzeszów) is a voivodeship-level government institution operating within Poland's Public Employment Services (Publiczne Służby Zatrudnienia) network, administratively subordinated to the Marshal of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship and functionally supervised by the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy. It provides statutory labour market services to unemployed job seekers, employers, persons with disabilities, foreigners, and youth across the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, including job intermediation (ePraca / Centralna Baza Ofert Pracy), vocational counseling, vocational training, subsidized employment programs, business startup grants, and management of the Guaranteed Employee Benefits Fund (FGŚP) for the region. The institution is funded through public budget allocations and EU structural funds (Regional Operational Program 2014-2020 and Fundusze Europejskie dla Podkarpacia 2021-2027) and operates under the new Act on Labour Market and Employment Services that took effect 1 June 2025.

The institution's core technology surface is the Wortal PSZ (psz.praca.gov.pl) digital portal — a unified frontend aggregating job offers, training registries (RIS), employment agency registers (KRAZ), the occupation classification system, and the INFOdoradca+ career information system. The portal is integrated with national e-government infrastructure including ePUAP, Profil Zaufany, Praca.gov.pl, EURES, and the Zielona Linia hotline. In October 2025, WUP Rzeszów deployed an LLM-based AI system on the PSZ Wortal that generates search results and article summaries from published content; the system is not classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act and does not process personal data. The institution delivers services through its Rzeszów headquarters and three branch offices (Krosno, Przemyśl, Tarnobrzeg) and coordinates with 21 powiat (county) labour offices across the voivodeship. The mobile ePraca app extends access to job seekers, including Ukrainian citizens via dedicated support sections.
