School for Veterans and Their Families
School for Veterans and Their Families
Social project
Ukraine's defenders have undertaken the most courageous act – they joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine to stop russian occupiers. Thousands of brave soldiers have lost limbs or suffered injuries that make it challenging for them to serve on the frontlines or find jobs in civilian life.
We strive to show appreciation to our heroes and support their integration into a new phase of life. Our school assists veterans of the russian-Ukrainian war and their family members in obtaining modern education in IT and creative economy and increasing their chances of securing in-demand employment. Education is provided free of charge.

After the interview with the applicant, a course selection manager will get in touch to help choose the training course that best aligns with the applicant's skills and career expectations.
