The IT4Everyone project from Uzbekistan helps people with hearing impairments master IT professions.

In Uzbekistan, the innovative IT4Everyone project has launched, aimed at teaching IT professions to people with hearing impairments. As part of the project, implemented with the support of USAID and in cooperation with deaf societies in Central Asia, participants will be able to learn IT professions for free and learn how to promote their businesses online.

In the first stage of the project, 148 applications were received from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, from which 115 participants were selected. The top graduates have already started the second stage, which includes tours of IT companies and intensive training. The project has proven its relevance and demand, providing deaf and hard-of-hearing people with the opportunity to work remotely and improve their professional skills.
