1200 skilled workers for Ukraine's recovery: results of a year of cooperation between Skills4Recovery, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
“Skilled workers are the key to economic stability. We focus on modernizing vocational education by providing modern equipment, training managers and teachers, and supporting vulnerable groups such as women, veterans, and internally displaced persons. #Skills4Recovery also assists our partners in repositioning vocational education institutions and developing strategies for veterans' transition back to civilian life,” said Michael Paulo, Programme Director of Skills4Recovery, GIZ Ukraine.
Over the year of its operation, the Skills4Recovery programme has strengthened more than 20 vocational education providers in 11 regions of Ukraine. 230 teachers received management and digitalization skills. Almost 1200 people have successfully completed retraining courses. The programme has purchased nearly 1,500 pieces of modern equipment to vocational education institutions: agrodrones, 3D printers, Starlink satellite modems, special simulators, interactive panels, various tools and machines for various purposes. The next steps are to scale up the results and implement new initiatives.
The #Skills4Recovery programme aims to support the training and retraining of skilled labour in four economic sectors important to the recovery process: construction, transport and logistics, agriculture and services. Funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the programme runs from mid-2023 to mid-2026 and covers Lviv, Vinnytsia, Chernivtsi, Kyiv, Poltava and Dnipro regions.
