ABOUT THE PROJECT
Hello, IT is an educational project from the Hello, Ukraine charity foundation created to help Ukrainians start a career in IT. We strive to create an inclusive IT environment where everyone, regardless of their physical abilities or social status, can develop and fulfil themselves.
In October 2024, Hello, Ukraine responded to a request for online training from the CF AIK, which has been actively developing an inclusive society in Ukraine since 2002, representing the interests of people with disabilities and implementing the ideas of inclusion in various spheres of life.
