People shaping the future

Emma Zakharevych, a 17-year-old high school student from Kryvyi Rih, and her team have secured $5,000 from the UActive program to help their peers take their first steps in the job market. Their initiative equips young people with practical tools to build resumes, communicate with employers, and successfully land their first jobs despite a lack of experience.

Quality vocational education is about much more than modern classrooms or state-of-the-art equipment. It is about giving people the opportunity to acquire in-demand skills, find meaningful employment, and take the next step in their professional journey.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. That is why one of the key priorities of the KRYTSIA: Support for the Recovery of Kryvyi Rih Raion project is expanding access to quality education for children with special educational needs.
