About the call
The Czech humanitarian organisation People in Need, funded by the Czech people, has opened a microgrant call under the From Skills to Success project. It helps internally displaced people who have lived in Lviv oblast since 24 February 2022 to gain a new profession, train or retrain for employment or to start an economic activity.
The grant depends on the cost of the chosen course, up to UAH 88,000 per participant. Payment goes directly to the training provider under a three-party agreement: 50% before the course and 50% after completion. Where justified, a one-off payment of up to UAH 13,000 covers travel and accommodation for in-person courses outside the participant's town. Courses last up to 6 months, online or offline, with a provider registered for the relevant activity codes (85.59, 85.32, 85.42).
Selection has two stages with an interview; results come within about 2 months of applying. One application per household. Payments may affect eligibility for subsidies and social benefits.
