In 1999, the NATO Liaison Office launched a language training programme in Ukraine. The programme objective: to support retired and retiring Ukrainian military personnel in their integration into civil life.
Since 2000, the British Council and NATO have been jointly implementing the project and the British Council has conducted English courses for more than 2000 ex-servicemen and women who have obtained the employability skills necessary in the civil sector upon finishing their military careers. The average percentage of employed graduates of resettlement courses stands at around 80%.
As one of the NATO partners in implementation of the project, the British Council in Ukraine has conducted more than two hundred 400-hr intensive courses for retired military personnel from Nizhyn, Chernihiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sevastopol, Sumy, Lviv, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv and Kyiv.
The students in the programme have demonstrated remarkable diligence, determination and discipline by immersing themselves into learning for five hours, five times a week.
The last group started their classes online in October 2020. New applications are now closed due to the closure of this direction of the programme by the NATO Liaison Office.
