Ukrainian women currently residing in Georgia are invited to engage in a new digital literacy and Tech upskilling initiative. The project “Empowering Ukrainian Refugee Women in Tech” will be implemented by Business and Technology University (BTU), with the support of the UN WOMEN and the Japanese government.

Building on the success of the flagship “500 Women in Tech” initiative, this program aims to provide Ukrainian women with comprehensive education and hands-on experience in various fields of Technologies. The curriculum includes essential Digital Literacy and Tech English skills, followed by specialized courses in Software Product Testing and Graphic Design, which will start online on September 2nd, 2024, with support from Georgian and Ukrainian lecturers. Partner companies will collaborate to offer practical components, ensuring real-world learning experiences.

“Strengthening Ukrainian Refugee Women in Tech” is part of the project “Strengthening the Resilience of Ukrainian Refugee Women and Girls in Host Countries” of the UN Women’s Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, which is funded by the Government of Japan. The project is aimed at solving the acute problems that women and girls face most often as a result of war and forced displacement. The project in Georgia includes two main components: creating the most inclusive, safe, comfortable space for Ukrainian refugee women and retraining them in technological directions in order to create new career opportunities.
