Until 2022 ORT was active in Belarus through two KesherNet centres, located outside the country’s capital, Minsk.
More than 1,300 people, mainly women, received vocational training at the centers in Gomel and in Polotsk. A wide range of computer training courses provided support to unemployed women, disabled people and the elderly, as well as to younger students.
Other courses provided skills and guidance for job searching and employability, as well as basic training in the use of modern means of communication. The courses have helped hundreds of people to find jobs.
