How the educational project helps people find a new profession
The educational component of the joint project with Mercy Corps, funded by the UK government, has reached its final stage. This is an important step for the development of the communities’ potential in eastern Ukraine, as our efforts are aimed not only at humanitarian support but also at increasing the resilience of people in times of war.
Thanks to the educational component, 190 people who lost their jobs due to the war have already completed their training and acquired new professions that match their personal interests and needs. Another 13 participants are finishing their courses this month. By the end of the year, all participants of our project will be able to start working with their new qualifications.
“The educational direction of our project, implemented together with our partners from Mercy Corps, has covered 203 participants who found themselves without work. These are people who seek new opportunities for self-realization and support. Among the specialties chosen by the participants are SMM managers, accountants, beauty industry specialists, and Nordic walking instructors. The training helps not only acquire practical skills but also opens up opportunities for self-employment or starting a business,” emphasized the Head of Educational Programs at the NGO “Responsible Citizens,” Olena Bieholipteva.
Education is a key element of our program that allows people to feel more confident about their future. We believe that providing knowledge and skills is not only assistance here and now but also an investment in the development of communities capable of recovery and growth even in times of crisis.
