The Department of Therapy and Rehabilitation pays significant attention to close collaboration with employers and partners in the healthcare, rehabilitation, and social support sectors. This interaction aims to ensure a practice-oriented approach in the training of higher education seekers, improve the content of educational components, and shape professional competencies according to the current labor market needs. Representatives of employers are actively involved in discussing and enhancing the content of educational components for professional training, as well as in forming the content of educational and clinical practice programs.

During such events, modern approaches to organizing the rehabilitation process, the implementation of innovative physical therapy techniques, the current needs of medical and rehabilitation institutions, and ways to enhance the professional training of future specialists are discussed. Employer participation in these events contributes to the updating of educational programs' content according to modern practical activity requirements and brings the educational process closer to real professional working conditions.
