On 26 February, the Chairman of the NATO Economic Committee and Ukraine's Head of National Co-ordinating Centre for Professional Adaptation of Military Servicemen, Cabinet of Ministers, signed an Agreement "On the Practical Implementation of the NATO-Ukraine Programme Concerning Retraining of Discharged or to be Discharged Military Personnel in Ukraine for the Year 2001", in the NATO Information and Documentation Centre in Kyiv.
This agreement is the second of its kind and provides funds for language and retraining courses for released, or to be released, military personnel in order to improve their prospects for employment in a difficult job market.
Since the signing of the first agreement in October 1999, up to 140 released or to be released military have benefited from NATO-sponsored language retraining courses (English, French and German) in six Ukrainian towns: Kyiv, Rovno, Odessa, Sebastopol, Uzyn and Lvov. This year, courses will concentrate on language skill acquisition and professional retraining in fields such as management and computers. The courses provided within the first programme will also be adapted to the specific background of former military staff and will include initiatives such as teaching civilian maritime English for former Navy officers.
This new Agreement is part of the NATO-Ukraine Commission Work Programme for 2001 in the field of economics, which also includes activities such as consultations on economic Security, base closure, defence budget planning, programming and budgeting.
