The IT scholarship program, implemented by ACTED Ukraine in partnership with Beetroot Academy, was aimed at supporting the most vulnerable groups of the population permanently residing in the Ukrainian government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The program pays special attention to internally displaced persons who need new opportunities for professional implementation.
The initiative was supported by the Embassy of Canada in Ukraine and Global Affairs Canada.
The program was designed for two years and involved the provision of 380 scholarships that covered between 50% and 100% of the cost of tuition and other associated costs.
The project created a unique opportunity for residents of frontline regions to master modern digital skills, acquire a new profession and improve their economic prospects, despite the difficult circumstances of wartime.
