Enabel supported the regional forum "Human Resource Provision for Business: Synergy of Education and the Labour Market", held on February 26, 2025 in Chernihiv, Ukraine. The event was a collaborative effort between the Chernihiv Regional State Administration, the Regional Development Agency of Chernihiv Region, and Expertise France in Ukraine.

Bringing together 80 participants from diverse backgrounds, the forum united local businesses, vocational education institutions, government officials, and international organizations. Discussions centered on coordinating efforts to address workforce qualifications, exploring labour market trends, and examining the potential of dual education models.

H.E. Mr. Luc Jacobs, Belgian Ambassador, delivered the opening remarks. Dirk Deprez, Enabel's Country Director for Ukraine, and Oleksandra Borodiyenko, the agency's Education and Skills Development Expert, presented the BE-Relieve Ukraine program and Enabel's educational initiatives.

The forum was supported through the BE-Relieve programme, reflecting Enabel's commitment to contribute to Chernihiv's vocational education sector.

The agency is investing in three local institutions: the Chernihiv Vocational Railway Transport Lyceum, Chernihiv Construction Lyceum, and Chernihiv Center for Vocational Education and Training.

Enabel's support focuses on helping these institutions recover from the impacts of Russian aggression, build institutional resilience, and modernise educational programs by leveraging Belgian expertise.
