I learned how to work in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I was familiar with these programs before but during the training I learned much more about them and was more confident in using these programs. Of course, the training had a positive influence at me. I started to think more often about myself, and I realised that I need to change something in my life. I managed to improve my scores at school. I am developing and I will not stop at what I have achieved!’ http://www.idea-ukraine.org/success_story/2120/ eng/ Dmytro Polekhin: I am developing and I will not stop at what I have achieved!

Real life stories demonstrating successes of IDEA participants are important for encouraging young people to choose IT and employability trainings and sharing workable job search solutions in communities across Ukraine. So we regularly collect and publish individual success stories via IDEA Project Web-site – see http://www.idea-ukraine.org/success_story/
Such human interest stories as the story of Iryna Nad’ from Berehovo encourage others to follow her way and study technologies. Iryna is a young mother preparing to return to the labor market.
