Initial vocational education and training
Public Private Partnership to Improved Professional Education in Ukraine
The EdUP project, including its Scale UP initiative, is playing a crucial role in addressing the serious challenges faced by Ukraine's vocational education and training (VET) sector during wartime. The war has destroyed many VET schools and exacerbated a skills shortage that affects several sectors, despite employers' willingness to offer competitive wages and resources. EdUP aims to rebuild and improve vocational schools and break stereotypes about vocational graduates. By decentralising training and aligning it with local economic needs, the project will improve the quality of vocational training, attract additional resources, work with the private sector, and modernise education to equip Ukraine's workforce for today's demands.

Working for the benefit of women farmers, small-scale producers, internally displaced people and other groups at risk of exclusion in the Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, the project improves access to skills, services, finance and markets. This helps participants build viable businesses, strengthen their income prospects and contribute to local recovery and food security.
