At the time of writing, it is 137 days since the Russia’s large-scale aggression against Ukraine. The invasion has generated many questions that are difficult to answer. No one knows how long the war will last, how it will conclude or what the long-lasting consequences will be for Ukraine’s economy and people.
One thing is certain, though, the rebuilding of Ukraine will depend on the practical skills of millions of people in areas such as construction, industrial production, transportation, agriculture, and health and social care. In our education systems, many of these skills are developed within programmes of vocational education and training (VET).
