Ukrainians took over 15 thousand vouchers for training: which professions they chose.

At the expense of the state, 15.6 thousand Ukrainians have already received a voucher for training in a new profession or specialty, or have improved their professional skills. The Ministry of Economy reports that the state has spent 114 million UAH on financing their training.

Among the most popular areas of training by vouchers this year are nursing (2951 vouchers), psychology (1861), preschool education (778), medicine (420), cook (1516), driver (1148), tractor driver (542) and confectioner (380).

In total, you can train in 124 professions and specialties in various fields using a voucher, such as IT technologies, construction, transport, education, medicine, agriculture, and social services. A person independently chooses the profession, educational institution (in Ukraine) and the form of training (full-Time, part-time or distance). Training is conducted in institutions of professional, specialized pre-higher and higher education, as well as in enterprises, institutions and organizations that have a license for this activity.

The voucher provides an opportunity to receive free training in educational institutions or from employers according to the list of professions and specialties approved by the Ministry of Economy. The amount of the voucher today cannot exceed 30,280 UAH. If the cost of training exceeds this amount, the person or employer must pay the difference.

Vouchers can be obtained by citizens of certain categories who have professional or higher education and are not unemployed, and have not received training at the expense of the Compulsory State Social Insurance Fund for unemployment in the last three years.
