Beetroot Academy is a social enterprise

Social impact is what drives us. We measure our success not by the number of students, but by the quality of the changes that occur in their career paths in IT.

Our journey began in 2014, following Russia's invasion of Crimea and Donbas. It was a pilot project to help Ukrainian internally displaced persons (IDPs) become IT specialists and rebuild their lives and sources of income. That’s when we saw the great potential of IT education as a tool to help people affected by the war, and we grew into a startup.
