Almost 200 (191) Ukrainians took part in a course in Tralee on starting a business. It was specifically devised for the Ukrainian community about entrepreneurship in Ireland. Olya Maryntseva, community worker of SICAP (Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme) at NEWKD and Robert Carey, Programme Manager with NEWKD were among the organisers.
