Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute together with the Kyiv Regional Employment Center will prepare new projects for employment, second higher education, retraining and retraining courses
“Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute trains specialists in areas that are very popular in the labor market: psychology, cybersecurity, and engineering. Together with the university, we will popularize engineering among our clients, telling them about the opportunities that Kyiv Polytechnic opens up for them. Our organization will provide financial support to such people. During 2023-2024, we issued more than 2,500 vouchers for advanced training and second higher education,” Denys Darmostuk, Director of the Kyiv Regional Employment Center.
The parties have signed a memorandum of cooperation that will include not only civilian employment, but also advanced training and retraining under voucher programs for those who need it most: veterans, military personnel and their families. These joint actions will help everyone who wants to get high-quality training at the best technical university in Ukraine, cover part of the tuition fee, and, perhaps, start their own business later.
“This synergy between our university and the Kyiv Regional Employment Center will help us create consortia to overcome the shortage of personnel in today’s crucial industries, such as energy and humanitarian demining. And also to involve veterans and the military. Our university is ready to create new retraining programs,” said Oksana Vovk, Director of the Educational and Research Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
Kyiv Polytechnic already has a number of retraining courses in the fields of engineering, rehabilitation and psychology, which are conducted by the Institute of Postgraduate Education of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and the newly created Educational and Research Center for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation.
