Six companies, including a number of prominent crypto platforms, the Blockchain Association of Ukraine (BAU) and the Ukrainian National IT Factory (UNIT) are behind the educational project. Its first Blockchain Hub Academy course has already started and in the next four months it will prepare the first group of 30 students to take on the challenges facing the crypto industry in their country. Quoted by Forklog, BAU vice president Vitaliy Bulychev commented:

The aim of the initiative is to prepare tech specialists for the crypto industry… This is one of the few niches where a rapidly growing industry provides ample opportunities to monetize knowledge, while giving a feeling of satisfaction from value creation, where the products are open to the world and everyone is a brick in the foundation of the new paradigm of economic relations.

Bulychev also noted that in Ukraine “there are people willing to learn and there are carriers of unique knowledge.” In his words, that’s a “win-win situation for all stakeholders.”
