UA Talents
Helping forcibly displaced Ukrainians get a job
How does it work?
UA talents is a job platform for displaced persons from and within Ukraine. On UA Talents, companies from all over Europe can advertise their job openings to people from Ukraine who have lost their employment due to the war.
UA Talents want to show how talented and determined UA workers are. Employers can post job openings on the website and Ukranians can apply for jobs.
Why is it needed?
The whole world has been devastated by what’s happening in Ukraine. And so the people behind UA Talents believed that the only possibility for them was to do tech for good to support as many people as possible suffering from the conflict.
How does it improve life?
All the profits earned are donated to support affected UA families and for the humanitarian needs of Ukraine and US Talents openly publish their financial reports.
Launch partners include Meta, Bolt, Zalando and Flixbus among others. The project is supported by venture capitalists from Germany. These include Atlantic Labs, FoodLabs, HV Capital, Earlybird and Project A.
