On August 8, the third stage of the IT Generation educational project began. Applications will be open for two weeks and Ukrainan citizens who want to change their profession and learn an IT specialty are encouraged to apply.
The project is implemented by the Ministry of Digital Transformation in partnership with the Binance Charity and the Lviv IT Cluster, with the support of the USAID Program “Competitive Economy of Ukraine” and the “Digital, Inclusive, Accessible: Support to Digitalization of Public Services in Ukraine” project implemented by UNDP in Ukraine with the support of Sweden.
To participate in IT Generation, head to the project’s platform, choose a school and study program and submit an application via the selected school’s website.
The selection of students will be carried out by the school, in particular through testing and interviews. The list of the required documents can be found on the project’s platform, in the FAQ section and on school websites.
