EveryMatrix Launches 'Academy for Heroes' to Support Ukrainian War Veterans

Supplier EveryMatrix has unveiled its new outreach initiative, the 'Academy for Heroes,' aimed at helping Ukrainian war veterans transition into IT and technology careers.

The program has been launched in Lviv, where EveryMatrix employs over 300 staff, some of whom are currently involved in the conflict. The 'Academy for Heroes' acknowledges the physical and psychological challenges veterans face in reintegrating into civilian life, offering them a path to social adaptation and employment.

The course, designed by seasoned IT professionals, equips participants with the skills necessary to build successful careers in technology. EveryMatrix has collaborated with local IT firms, which will assist in hiring veterans who complete the program.

EveryMatrix Group CEO & Co-Founder Ebbe Groes commented:

“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.”

In addition to its ongoing projects, EveryMatrix has also increased its focus on the North American market, securing partnerships with DraftKings in Ontario and Internet Vikings in West Virginia. This latest initiative, however, brings the company’s attention closer to its Bucharest headquarters in Romania, which shares a border with Ukraine.
