This document discusses the WageUp project, which aims to create an online platform to help address imbalances in the Russian labor market. It notes discrepancies between graduate qualifications and employer demands, and a lack of means to verify skills. WageUp would establish a unified system for registering professionals, confirming competencies, and connecting workers to training/jobs. The platform would benefit professionals, employers, educators and more. It has developed methodology and regional partnerships, and seeks funding to further develop and scale its services nationally to help millions of Russian workers and employers.
