CREATE UKRAINE
CREATE UKRAINE aims to bring change-makers – young Ukrainians who have acquired valuable international experience – back to their homeland to apply their skills in building a robust economic system and implementing vital reforms and overcoming the challenges of war.
The program is initiated by the EU co-funded Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Programme team of the Central Project Management Agency in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and implemented
by the KSE Foundation.
About the Program
In today’s globalized world, the younger generation is increasingly mobile. Young people leave their home countries searching for the careers they aspire to.
Through Create Ukraine, these talented professionals are brought back from abroad to their homeland. The pilot project is being implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
To ensure they can maximize the impact of their work, the young professionals receive comprehensive support and professional development opportunities from the Kyiv School of Economics.
