School of construction equipment operators 'ALEF STROI'

This program is implemented by ALEF STROI (LLC "VBC "ELITPROJECT-BUD") in collaboration with VSP "Nemishaivskyi Technical College of NUBiP of Ukraine". The program is supported by the USAID program "Competitive Economy of Ukraine" and the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine. It aims to train female operators of specialized construction equipment to address the personnel shortage in Ukraine and contribute to the country's economic recovery.

Main requirements to participate in the course:

• Passing a medical examination — this is a mandatory requirement to confirm your physical ability to undergo training.
• Physical ability to stay at the training camp throughout the course (9 weeks). Students may leave the camp for weekends only with permission if there are no training sessions or studies.
• Motivation to work in the acquired profession — it is essential to have a desire and readiness for employment after completing the course.
• Age — you must be 18 or older at the time of enrollment.
• Recommendation for women — the program is primarily focused on women, so the willingness to take on a non-typical profession is an advantage.
• Tractor category "A" — having this category may be a competitive advantage.

Training, accommodation, and meals are FREE during the entire theoretical and practical course.

Students at the ALEF STROI operator's school learn to operate fifteen types of specialized construction equipment, including:

Backhoe loaders — combine the functions of digging, loading, and transporting materials. They are suitable for large-scale construction projects as well as smaller landscaping jobs.

Telehandlers — designed for high-altitude work and lifting heavy loads. They can be used in the construction of residential and industrial buildings, as well as in agriculture.

Skid-steer loaders — ideal for work in confined spaces, such as urban projects or small construction sites where larger machines cannot operate effectively.

Mini-excavators — suitable for small construction projects and work in hard-to-reach places. They are convenient for short-term tasks.

You can register by filling out the form via this link.

Our managers will contact you in the order of applications received. Male applications are reviewed after processing women's applications. You can also contact us via the phone number provided on the project pages to check the status of your application.

Usually, the results are announced 1-2 weeks before the start of the course. If you are selected, you will be notified earlier.

Due to the martial law in Ukraine, the construction industry has faced a critical personnel shortage, as most workers are men. Therefore, women are stepping in to help with reconstruction where possible. Operating construction equipment is well within women's capabilities, so we focus on providing specialized training for women and promoting gender equality in the industry.

The first five groups are funded by grants and private funds, providing an opportunity to train women and demonstrate that this is not only possible but effective. Men can also apply for the course, but women have certain advantages in the selection process.
