A new socio-economic initiative — the CyberBee project — is launching in Ukraine, opening new career opportunities in cybersecurity for people with disabilities. The initiative is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine in partnership with SHERIFF Cyber Academy.
The program offers free professional training in cybersecurity for people with disabilities of Groups I and II, including veterans. The curriculum is focused on practical skills and preparing participants for employment in the private sector, government institutions, and international companies.
Participants will train on a cyber range, work with real-life cyber threat scenarios, and receive professional certification enabling them to begin a career in the field of digital security.
The project is expected to deliver a dual economic impact:
-
creating new professional opportunities for people with disabilities;
-
helping businesses address the growing shortage of cybersecurity specialists.
According to experts, Ukraine’s demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to grow each year, while cyber protection is becoming a critical component of business, infrastructure, and national security.
CyberBee introduces a new model — an inclusive cyber economy, where professional value is defined not by physical abilities but by analytical thinking, responsibility, and the ability to manage risks in the digital environment.
Business communities, associations, and entrepreneurs’ clubs are invited to help share information about the program so that people who can benefit from this opportunity are able to learn about it.
