SIYB trainees selected by State Employment service and the implementing partner, NGO GURT The 1000 trainees taking on-line SIYB in 2020 and 2021

challenges:

On-line SIYB obviously has limitations in terms of imparted skills and knowledge – it is more difficult to provide direct support to potential start-ups. Quality of proposed business plans by trainees also prove to be of quite low quality Requires a strong and committed group of trainers, able to manage and use the e-SIYB and conduct training independently On-line format may also exclude certain target groups without proper access to computers and good internet

success:

Advantages are lower implementation costs, and trainees can take-eSIYB and exercises at their leisure. Spacing out the courses over time is a further advantage Training of Trainers, ToT, is more complicated on-line, and requires very careful selection by ILO and the trainer of potential trainers, including screening and interviews

context:

SIYB as a well-defined ILO method was already adapted to the Ukrainian context, including training of 72 national SIYB trainers, concept notes and national roll-out plans developed . On-line SIYB refresher course for 24 NGO and SES trainers was developed in 2020, using e-SIYB, with support from ILO TC. The E-SIYB tool was converted to Ukrainian to ensure continuation of the SIYB training programme during the pandemic SIYB has been adopted by the MoE as the official entrepreneurship development programme in Ukraine

description:

Flexibility and quick response by the ILO TC in Turin and ILMJC project in Ukraine to convert and adjust the existing SIYB curriculum to online mode during COVID 19 restrictions enabled the further roll-out of SIYB during the imposed lock-downs in 2020 and 2021

administrative_issues:

SIYB, once trainers are available and a national implementing agency appointed, doesn’t require close supervision, but needs a close cooperation with the responsible authorities Frequent refresher training is necessary
