Prometheus platform, EBRD providing 60,000 grant places to Ukrainian entrepreneurs on leading universities' courses

MOSCOW. June 28 (Interfax) - The Prometheus online learning platform and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) are launching the Economic Recovery Bootcamp program with 60,000 grant places for Ukrainian businesspeople, Ukrainian media outlets said, citing a statement circulated by Prometheus co-founder Ivan Primachenko on social media.

As part of the new program, Ukrainian entrepreneurs will be able to attend courses at Harvard, the Darden Business School of the University of Virginia, Rice University, as well as courses run by the Nova Poshta and Reply co-founders, Ukrainian chef Yevgeny Klopotenko and other major businesspeople of Ukraine, the report said.

The program includes four courses: "How to start your own business in times of uncertainty: a step-by-step guide from the top entrepreneurs of Ukraine", "CS50: Introduction to Computer Science for Business Professionals" by Harvard University, "Grow to Greatness: Smart Growth for Private Businesses" by the University of Virginia's Darden Business School, and "Finance for Non-Finance Professionals" by Rice University.

"I haven't yet see leading American universities open up free access to training on their business courses, and even in another language. This is a unique chance that you need to take advantage of here and now," Primachenko said.
