Digital Academy for Ukraine's Veterans
Building Civilian Futures Through Digital Skills & Education

Equipping Ukrainian veterans with in-demand skills to successfully transition from military service to sustainable civilian careers

THE VETERAN REINTEGRATION CRISIS
Ukraine faces an unprecedented veteran reintegration challenge. Over one million Ukrainians have served in the armed forces, with projections indicating the veteran population could reach 5 million by war's end. Nearly one-third remain unemployed after service, struggling to translate military experience into civilian careers. Physical injuries affect 100,000+ veterans, with approximately 300 soldiers becoming amputees daily. Beyond visible wounds, countless veterans battle invisible psychological trauma that further complicates their transition.
