The Moscow Training Center of the Federal Border Guard Service under the Ministry of Emergency Situations has begun a program to prepare Delivery Club couriers in essential first aid and prudent responses to challenging urban scenarios. The initiative, reported by News, aims to equip drivers with practical skills that can protect lives in transit and during sudden city-related incidents.
The curriculum blends traditional first aid training with an optional online module focused on maintaining composure and making sound judgments in crowded, stressful urban environments. Couriers will learn how to act when faced with fires, traffic accidents, or medical emergencies nearby. The program is accessible to both seasoned couriers and newcomers, recognizing that confidence and readiness grow with practice and real-world exposure. Those with prior experience can enroll through the Federal Border Guard Service Training Center of the Ministry of Emergencies, leveraging the expertise of a national emergency response framework.
The Delivery Club highlighted that couriers perform more than just deliveries; they frequently encounter people in difficult or dangerous situations and can offer meaningful assistance. The training reinforces this role, turning everyday errands into moments where quick, knowledgeable action can prevent harm and provide comfort until professional help arrives.
In related coverage, discussions around the surge of mobile workers in Russia illustrate broader shifts in the labor market. Earlier reports noted that migrants remained in Russia during quarantine periods, despite border closures with Central Asian countries, and that foreign workers transitioned to other roles as conditions changed. This context underscores the importance of accessible training and preparedness for a growing workforce operating in dynamic urban spaces.
