Addressing Special Needs and Ensuring the Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups

Challenge and goal:

To address the severe shortage of skilled labour in Ukraine effectively, vocational training and labour markets must be inclusive for all potential target groups, including women, veterans, IDPs and people with disabilities. Therefore, in the focus area of “Addressing Special Needs and Ensuring Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups”, the Skills Alliance members assess the availability and demand for training for target groups, support the matching of vulnerable groups with existing opportunities, developed and disseminate recommendations to promote inclusive training and employment.

Deliverables:

• Assessment of the availability and demand for education and training programmes tailored to the needs of vulnerable groups;
• Support in matching vulnerable groups with existing upskilling and training opportunities in Ukraine;
• Development of recommendations to promote inclusion in education and employment, in alignment with Ukraine’s employment strategy, the Vocational Education Act, and other relevant policies.
