SEED Scholarship Program

In partnership with ACTED Ukraine, we have launched a two-year IT training scholarship program for residents of the Ukraine-controlled areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including internally displaced persons.

The initiative in Sweden in partnership with the non-profit organization Doing Good provides support to Ukrainian refugees in life and employment.

What we do

We create educational opportunities that really change lives. Training designed to lead to real professional change.

Retraining in IT specialties

Intensive programs in web development, Python, digital marketing — all to open new doors.

Upskilling for
experienced professionals

Master classes on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, accessibility — current topics with practical application.

Digital literacy from scratch

We teach basic technical skills so that everyone can take confident steps in the digital world.

Why is it important?

The war changed the lives of millions of Ukrainians. Many have lost their jobs, homes and confidence in the future. In times like these, digital skills give people a way to start over.

The path to employment

Technical skills allow you to work online — this is especially valuable for those who have been forced to relocate.

Preparedness for the future

We help Ukrainians remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.

Economic sustainability

Access to decent work helps people, and the country, recover.

Our Students' Stories

The real experience of people who have already taken this path. These stories show what changes after the program.

Bohdana Velychko

HR Generalist

Before the full-scale war, I worked for a large company in Donbas, but on February 24 I lost my job and home and was forced to move to Poltava. After doubts and searches, I enrolled in the “HR Generalist” course at Beetroot Academy. Despite the difficult learning conditions due to the war, I worked hard, systematized knowledge and acquired practical skills. Today I am the head of the HR department at a financial company.

Inna Kovalyk

QA Specialist

The war changed my life dramatically: my family and I were forced to flee Bucha. When the situation stabilized, I decided to act and enrolled in the QA Manual course at Beetroot Academy. Despite the war, I worked hard and got an internship at Driver.Top. Now I am building a career in QA, constantly learning and developing.

Olha Hazizova

Digital Marketer

I'm from Kharkiv, and before the war I worked as a nail technician. The danger forced me to leave home, and over two years I moved 11 times. Dreaming of remote work, I enrolled at Beetroot Academy for the digital marketing course. Today I work at Prom.ua, I'm growing in marketing and planning to specialize further.

Anton Sukach

Veteran, Project Manager

In the fall of 2021, I started training at Beetroot Academy, but the start of the war put a stop to my job search — on February 24, I joined the Armed Forces and served for two years. After demobilization in October 2023, I returned to IT, enrolled in a course for veterans and received a job offer within a month of active search.

Olha Sorokina

QA Specialist

Before switching to IT, I changed a lot of jobs, but really found myself in testing. Thanks to the support of a charity organization, I became a student at Beetroot Academy. Training was not easy, but perseverance helped to successfully complete the course and pass the final exam. The support of the teacher and classmates inspired me to believe in myself and move on!

Popular Questions and Answers

Who are your teachers? Where do they work and do they have teaching experience?

All our teachers are middle+ level practitioners working in Ukrainian and international IT companies.

Before they start teaching, they are interviewed by a recruiter and conduct a demo lesson under the supervision of an expert. This helps us to be sure that you will learn from people who know their business well.

What training formats do you offer?

Depending on the direction you choose, we offer different training formats.

For beginners — intensive courses lasting several months. For experts and teams — more formats: masterclasses, workshops and mini-courses. They differ in duration, in the balance of theory and practice, and in group size.

To choose the format that fits your needs, sign up for a free consultation. Our education advisors will help you pick a program so that your training brings the greatest result.

How do you form curricula?

Our courses are created by middle+ level practitioners. They work in the field now and know what skills employers need.

We regularly update the programs for beginners and experts to meet the requirements of the market. For teams, we develop individual programs for specific needs.

The Academy is part of the Beetroot ecosystem. Therefore, we know firsthand what challenges IT professionals face and take this into account in training.

Who will help with technical issues during training?

A manager is assigned to each group. Their task is to make your learning comfortable and enjoyable.

Managers will help you with access, tell you the schedule and keep you posted on what comes next. You can always contact them with any question, even technical ones.

How do I access educational materials?

All materials are stored in our Learning Platform (LMS). There you will find lesson records, assignments and teachers' comments on your work.

There is a built-in calendar with a schedule, a list of topics and a chatbot to support during training. All in one place.

The best thing is access forever. You will be able to return to the materials even after the end of the course.

How long does training take?

It depends on the format you choose.

Career courses run for several months, while masterclasses and workshops take a few hours.

Our education consultants will tell you the exact length of a program and how much time is worth devoting to your studies.

Is it possible to study in parallel with work?

Yes! Most of our students combine study with work.

The schedule is created specifically for those who work full time. Missed a class? Every session is recorded.

Our teachers are open to questions and will help you figure out what you missed. The main thing is your desire to learn.

Is it possible to transfer the training to another stream?

We understand that sometimes a pause is required. Life is unpredictable.

We solve such issues individually. We are always open to dialogue and are looking for an option that suits you.

The main thing is not to be silent. Contact the managers, and together we will find a solution.

Do I need English to join?

We do not require knowledge of English, but we recommend a level of at least Pre-Intermediate.

Why English is important:
- 70-90% of useful materials — in English
- Without English it is difficult to find a job in IT
- Most programs and documentation in international companies — in English

Therefore, it is better to learn English already while studying, for example, through the Beetroot Academy English Club — it can be attended during the course.
