Support will be provided to Ukrainian Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to strengthen their capacity to participate in Erasmus+ programmes. All services are to be delivered remotely between June 2025 and May 2026, structured under two main work packages.
Work Package 1: International Engagement through Erasmus+
A total of 40 VET providers will be engaged, with 25 selected for in-depth support. A joint planning workshop will be conducted with the National Erasmus+ Office–Ukraine and GIZ to define the training programme. Initial online sessions will be held to introduce Erasmus+ opportunities, followed by targeted training for the selected providers on project development and application processes. Partnerships with institutions in EU Programme countries will be facilitated, and individual support will be provided throughout the proposal preparation and submission phases. At least 18 Erasmus+ project applications are expected. All sessions will be fully organized and documented, including logistical coordination and reporting.
Work Package 2: Handbook Development
A bilingual handbook (Ukrainian and English) will be created to guide VET providers in drafting Erasmus+ project proposals. The handbook will include step-by-step instructions, visual aids, and digital navigation features, ensuring accessibility across devices. Its content will be tested during the application phase, revised accordingly, and submitted for approval by GIZ and the National Erasmus+ Office–Ukraine.
