Supplier EveryMatrix has announced the launch of ‘Academy for Heroes,’ an outreach project aimed at aiding veterans of the Ukraine war by helping them transition into careers in IT and technology. 

The project has been initiated in the city of Lviv – where EveryMatrix has over 300 employees, some of which are currently fighting in the war. ‘Academy for Heroes’ seeks to recognise the physical and psychological hardships of transitioning back into normal life after being at war – providing a form of social adaptation for those who need it.  

Further, the course itself has been constructed by established IT professionals and will aim to provide participants with adequate IT skills to begin successful technology careers. EveryMatrix has developed this latest initiative alongside a range of local IT companies, who will be involved in the employment of veterans that complete the course.  

EveryMatrix Group CEO & Co-Founder Ebbe Groes said: “Our Lviv office is central to our continued success and growth. Ever since the country has experienced conflict we have supported our friends and colleagues, as well as charities, with much needed funds committing more than €2m ($2.2m) to date, and we will continue to help them.

“Now, we’re taking that one step further by setting up our second company NGO to ensure veterans receive the training and skills they need to return to work and develop successful careers in technology.

“The IT industry is one of the strongest parts of the Ukrainian economy, renowned worldwide for technical skills. I hope many will either join us or go on to join other IT companies, giving them hope and a more certain future for themselves and their families.” 

Recently, EveryMatrix has drawn an enhanced focus on its North American operations – drawing up two partnerships with DraftKings in Ontario and Internet Vikings in West Virginia in August.

Now, this latest development draws focus closer to its Bucharest HQ in Romania, a bordering nation of Ukraine.
