This funding opportunity seeks to improve the business and investment climate for U.S. companies in Ukraine by strengthening U.S.-Ukraine educational partnerships to help modernize Ukraine’s workforce to meet labor market demands. In the face of significant labor market challenges, technical and vocational training will play a pivotal role in providing the skilled workforce needed for U.S. companies to succeed.

The most immediate and sustainable response to Ukraine’s workforce issues lies in improving technical and vocational training programs specifically tailored to the needs of targeted populations, including war veterans, mid-career professionals, and specialists requiring retraining.

U.S. partner institutions can provide critical solutions to enhancing the quality and diversity of educational services in Ukraine. This includes expanding offerings for short-term certificate (micro qualification) programs, workforce development courses, and full degree programs, ensuring alignment with both learner needs and market demands. Through this effort, the program will better position American businesses to succeed in Ukraine by fostering a modern, adaptable, and highly skilled workforce.
