The UMNITS Training Center has been conducting training programs since 2000.

Over the years of their work, the specialists of UMNITS have conducted hundreds of social and business trainings for public organizations, youth, teachers, and local self-government bodies in various regions of Ukraine.

The main direction of the training activity of UMNITS is the activation of social activities, development of leadership potential, improvement of the level of knowledge and skills of leaders of public organizations in the field of volunteer motivation, team building, finding funding, etc.
