“In the span of nearly two years the war in Ukraine caused over 5 million Ukrainians to lose their jobs. Learning a new profession is now essential for many individuals, being a crucial component in the country’s economic stability. This is the second time the Western NIS Enterprise Fund offers scholarships for Ukrainians affected by the war to master IT professions, ensuring they will find excellent job opportunities and provide for themselves and their families. We believe this is an important long-term investment in the development of human capital in Ukraine – something that the Russians will not be able to destroy,” noted Iryna Ozymok, WNISEF Local Economic Development Program Manager.
1000 Ukrainians will have the opportunity to study at paid IT programs free of charge. The scholarships are granted only to citizens who have been affected by the war in Ukraine.
