Online Workplace English for Displaced Persons Program

The PUblic Affairs Section of the U.

S.

Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine (PAS Kyiv) seeks up to five (5) implementers for five (5) regional projects.

Though largely a distance-learning program, “Online Workplace English for Displaced Persons” will have bases in five Ukrainian

regions/cities, drawing participants from those cities or from surrounding areas.

Projects in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mykolaiiv, and Odesa regions will be given preference due to the large number of displaced people in those areas.

A maximum of five (5) grants will be awarded to cover five (5) regions.

A maximum of $20,000 may be requested of each region.

However, implementers may represent more than one region.

PAS Kyiv invites eligible organizations to submit proposals for a Cooperative Agreement to coordinate all logistics and programming associated with administering an eight-month blended learning course that will offer English language instruction to displaced persons in various regions of Ukraine.

“Online Workplace English for Displaced Persons” is an eight-month blended learning course that will offer English language instruction to displaced persons in Ukraine.
