Students and Zaporizhzhia citizens, who are registered at the employment center and wish to learn a new craft, will simultaneously master two professions – a crane driver and a locksmith. To do this, the center will equip a training room for special technologies of crane drivers, a training ground and a locksmith.

The grant of UAH1.7 million involves the co-financing of the Ministry and the city government in the ratio of 70% to 30%, respectively. It will be sent for overhaul of the future training ground, reconstruction of classrooms with the installation of modern locksmith machines, as well as the purchase of an interactive simulator, a projector with a multimedia board, laptops and other equipment.
