Being a student is not only about studying within university walls. It is a time of exploration, experimentation, and discovering new horizons — as well as an opportunity to boldly dream about starting your own business. For those who want to turn ideas into real business projects, the Donetsk Regional Employment Center has launched the information intensive “ProOpportunities.”
📅 On September 25, 2025, a series of webinars for students began, aimed at helping young people find answers to questions such as:
how to properly start your own business
which grants are already available today
where to look for inspiration to develop creative ideas.
The initiative is implemented within the framework of the “BusinessLAB” project, designed to strengthen entrepreneurial thinking among young people, teach them to recognize opportunities, and open the way to self-realization.
The opening webinar focused on entrepreneurship as a life choice that can become part of one’s personal success story. Speaker Maryna Pyrlik, head of the career guidance department of the Donetsk Regional Employment Center, shared examples of how young people can generate ideas, develop them into business projects, and change their lives through entrepreneurship.
Participants heard inspiring case studies, received advice on first steps in business, and realized that entrepreneurship is not only about finance but also about the courage to make dreams come true.
Why this matters
“ProOpportunities” is not just a series of webinars. It is a platform that helps young people feel confident in their abilities, understand that support exists, and see that ideas can be brought to life through grants, training, and mentorship.
For many students, this is the first step toward future business, and for Donetsk region — an investment in the young generation of entrepreneurs who will create new success stories.
