On 13 March 2026, the Department of Ukrainian and Slavic Philology and Journalism at Kherson State University held a careers guidance event for pupils from Kherson Lyceum No. 51; the event was organised by Dr Volodymyr Oleksenko, Professor of Philology.
Head of Department Svitlana Klimovych emphasised that, given the current circumstances surrounding the relocation, such meetings take on particular significance, as they help to maintain educational links, support young people in the Kherson region, and foster the region’s intellectual potential. Cooperation between the school and the university helps prospective students to better navigate their choice of career path and obtain reliable information about educational opportunities and prospects for further study.
During the event, the department’s educational programmes were presented to the pupils. In particular, Tamara Mandych, Candidate of Philological Sciences, presented the educational programme ‘Secondary Education (Ukrainian Language and Literature, English)’, emphasising the importance of training modern language teachers who shape the linguistic culture, national consciousness and spiritual values of the younger generation.
Andrii Solomakhin, Candidate of Philological Sciences and Associate Professor of the Department, and Valentina Pestushko, a first-cycle (bachelor’s) student, spoke about the opportunities offered by the ‘Journalism’ programme. The pupils learnt about the specifics of the journalism profession, modern media formats, the role of the media in society, and career prospects in the field of communications.
Holding such career guidance meetings is an important part of cooperation between educational institutions, as they help to support young people, promote Ukrainian education and shape the region’s future professional environment.
