The International Organization for Migration (IOM Lithuania) is inviting medical workers from Ukraine to join a Lithuanian language course. "We invite Ukrainians who have been living in Lithuania since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, have some basic knowledge of the Lithuanian language, and work in the medical sector but lack specific vocabulary. The language barrier is a real challenge for Ukrainians seeking employment, particularly in the medical field, which relies heavily on live communication in sensitive situations. Therefore, we decided to organize targeted courses for medical professionals. We hope these courses will not only help Ukrainian war refugees enhance their professional skills but also make the Lithuanian healthcare system more open and accessible to migrants," said Eglė Staškūnaitė, Head of the Migrant Assistance and Crisis Management Unit at IOM Lithuania.

The Lithuanian language course will last approximately 3.5 months, starting on December 1. It is expected that around 40 participants will join the course, which will be conducted online.

Ukrainians interested in participating in the course should complete the registration form here. Registration will remain open until all places are filled.

To date, more than 90,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Lithuania. Since the start of the war, over 19,000 Ukrainians have received assistance.
