БУДЬ/BE is a platform designed to help Ukrainian women to get a job in IT and creative industries. Mentors and experts from the best Ukrainian and global companies support women in their job search.
Due to the Russian military invasion, more than 40% Ukrainian men and women lost their job.
For women, a new city or country often means career changes – a new workplace, a new company or an entirely new profession.
БУДЬ/BE is a response to this challenge.
Civil organization INSCIENCE, which promotes science, created a platform that will become your guide, helper, and support in your career path. This platform launched with the European Union and implemented jointly with UN Women and UNFPA.
Be a woman in tech, design, programming, software development, or testing.
Choose a new profession for yourself – and become a specialist with the support of IT and human resources experts who will work with you. Lifelong learning is a universal superpower despite age.
is a specialist in the IT and creative areas, who shares experience with the mentee. It is possible to participate as a curator, an expert, or get both roles at the same time. Curators, together with mentees, set relevant goals and help to achieve them during the program. Curators should not prepare CV or cover letters for mentees. Curators give feedback, support, and share valuable experiences in a job search and employee onboarding. Experts, in turn, conduct one-to-one consultations on a specific topic upon mentees' requests.
