recognised professional qualifications as well as job placement
assistance.
Ukrainian citizens, including those displaced by conflict, will
be able to enrol in programmes that support both entry-level and
experienced individuals. This will particularly support women
entering the tech sector for the first time, as well as veterans
returning from active conflict.
The tech sector in Ukraine has shown remarkable resilience
despite the challenges of Russia’s full-scale invasion,
continuing to grow year on year.
, Minister for Europe, said:
The training programmes offered through TechBridge will directly
support Ukrainians’ continued professional growth. This training
will strengthen a key sector and provide Ukrainians with more
economic resilience, a strong foundation for continued recovery.
, Minister for Industry and
Economic Security, said:
The UK continues to stand with Ukraine and, through programmes
such as the UK-Ukraine TechBridge and UK-Ukraine Infrastructure
Taskforce which I co-chair alongside Deputy Prime Minister
Kubrakov, is doing all we can to support their economy.
The remarkable resilience of Ukraine’s tech sector sees their
companies continue to grow despite Russia’s illegal invasion. The
UK’s training offer will help tackle digital skills shortages and
enable a more agile workforce in Ukraine as it rebuilds.
Siobhan Wilson, UK Country Leader, Oracle said:
The opportunities in the technology sector are vast and varied.
Providing the Ukrainian people with the right skills and
qualifications to stand out is crucial in helping them lay the
foundations for a successful and brighter future.
Oracle is committed to working with the UK and Ukrainian
governments to deliver schemes that meet the specific needs of
the Ukrainian people.
