Training Opportunities for Veterans in IT
The web design studio «IT Veteran Odesa» invites war veterans and their families, as well as the families of fallen defenders of Ukraine, to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of information technology, particularly in web design.
As part of the state veteran policy aimed at fostering a supportive environment for veteran entrepreneurship, the Ukrainian Veteran Fund has conducted a project competition developed by war veterans and their associations for the organization of business activities. The implementation of these projects will be supported financially by the Fund.
Among the winners of the «Worth: Golden Hands» competition in 2023, the project «IT Veteran Odesa Web Design Studio» was recognized. The goal of the project is to facilitate the reintegration of war veterans and their families into society, restoring and enhancing their knowledge, skills, and employability.
For veterans and their families, as well as for the families of fallen soldiers, the web design studio offers a social training program:
- for combatants or their family members – a discount of up to 50%;
- for individuals with war-related disabilities or their family members – a discount of up to 75%;
- for families of deceased veterans – free of charge.
