As the crisis in Ukraine continues to force millions of people to flee their homes, finding refuge in neighboring countries and beyond, the role of education in the resettlement process has become increasingly vital. Among the numerous organizations stepping up to support these displaced individuals, ANTA Education, supported by Staffordshire Community foundation is helping a growing number of Ukrainian people move their lives forward for the better. Craig Howard, Managing Director of ANTA Community Training Said: "We launched our Ukraine support project back and January 2024 and one of the first people I met was Oleksandr, referred to us by our colleagues at Jobs 22 in Stafford. Oleksandr held a high level career in the construction sector back in the Ukraine. Moving a young family to the UK under circumstances that none of us would wish for has been understandably challenging. I am really proud that been given the opportunity to meet Oleksandr and we will continue to help him in any way that we can"
Oleksandr Said:
"When you are in a new professional environment, whether you want it or not, there are always questions that are very difficult to figure out without external help, and these answers are not always the ultimate truth. Therefore, it is very important that you have a person whose experience and knowledge will help you get through this maze of questions. I am glad that on my way I met ANTA Education in the person of Craig Howard, who took an active part in the process of my professional adaptation. As a Ukrainian, due to certain circumstances, I was recently forced to move to the UK and I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity to use my skills and knowledge in the field of construction and property management in a new place for me. And in order to realize myself, it is necessary to go a certain way, and starting from the first steps in my professional career, I know that I can turn to ANTA Education for any question in the field of training, passing exams, organizing meetings with employers, as well as consult on any issue. Thanks to ANTA Education represented by Craig Howard, I successfully completed the preparation process and The official Construction Skills Certification. As a result, in a fairly short time, I received a CSCS Green Card and a CSCS White Card, which will help me in further obtaining a competitive job.
It's very important for people like me to feel supported and know that you can ask for help at any time! Keep it up !" Thanks to the support of this programme we have been able to support Oleksandr and other's to complete CSCS training to acquire green labourers. We're really proud to say that Oleksandr has been able to achieve not only the green card, but he's our first white CSCS card learner too.
