NGO EasyBusiness within the framework of the project “AUTONOMY IN VET: STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONS TO MEET REGIONAL WORKFORCE NEEDS” invites applications for participation in the tender for the procurement of external services – external experts providing mentoring support for VET providers through a voucher system, specifically for delivering training in the format of online workshops.
The project aims to strengthen the capacity of 25 vocational education and training (VET) institutions by enabling them to operate with greater autonomy, diversify income sources, and effectively respond to the needs of regional employers.
The project is implemented by NGO EasyBusiness with financial support from the European Union, Germany, Poland, and Estonia under the multi-donor initiative Skills4Recovery, carried out by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and Solidarity Fund PL (SFPL).
The Skills4Recovery initiative supports training and retraining of skilled workers in key sectors essential for recovery: construction, transport, agriculture, services, and manufacturing. This is achieved by strengthening the capacity of VET providers to offer high-quality, labor-market-oriented training, engage vulnerable groups, and cooperate with employers. The program runs until June 2026 and covers all regions of Ukraine, with a total budget of €14 million.
