The defense sector in Ukraine is growing—and with it, the demand for specialists. But most professionals looking to enter the industry don’t understand where exactly there is a place for their expertise, what is expected of them, or where to start.
This webinar brought together practitioners from four organizations within the defense ecosystem: a government support platform, labor market analysts, and direct employers. Together, they will provide an insider’s perspective that is usually only available from within.
In two hours, we will:
— examine which specializations defense companies are currently seeking and where the biggest gap between supply and demand lies
— show which fields receive government support and how this affects the job market — explain the engineering stack behind modern autonomous systems and what this means for technical specialists
— examine specific entry paths for different profiles
— provide an honest picture of the backgrounds candidates bring, what they lack, and what the actual onboarding process looks like
— answer questions from participants live
