The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company highly evaluated the professional level of our engineers for the first time in 2013, as part of a consolidated team effort by the Progresstech group of companies (today, Progresstechgroup). At that time, Progresstech was among the 16 most effective participants in Boeing’s global supplier network, having been awarded “Supplier of the Year.”

Acknowledging the strong engineering team of the Progresstech group’s Ukrainian branch, Boeing started closer cooperation with the company in 2014. From then on, Progresstech Ukraine’s engineers have been engaged in all Boeing Commercial Airplanes programs, including the creation of the newest aircraft.

After four years of close cooperation, Progresstech Ukraine was honored by Boeing for our exceptional performance and high-quality work with the 2017 Performance Excellence Award.

Boeing also added their support to the dual study programs offered by Progresstech Ukraine and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI). Projects include the Joint Training Center at KPI; launching a dual Master’s program; establishing new up-to-date aviation specializations, lectures, and workshops for students; retraining and certification for faculty; internships for KPI at the Boeing facilities in Renton and Everett. 

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute

The National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, one of the largest educational centers in Europe, became the main partner for implementing educational and training programs initiated by Progresstech Ukraine.

Our pilot and largest partnership project, the Joint Training Center at KPI, was launched in the summer of 2014.

This center, equipped with modern computer equipment with access to the latest system of computer-assisted design solutions, acquired the status of a cross-functional platform for implementing most of Progresstech Ukraine and KPI’s joint programs, including:

• upgrade and certification course for technical university faculty,
• semi-anual 3-month professional engineer course for students and graduates of Ukrainian technical universities,
• training students for the new master’s specializations, established by KPI and Progresstech Ukraine, and perfectly adapted to the demands of the modern engineering services market,
• dual Master’s programs which combine study at KPI with hands-on experience in Progresstech Ukraine’s engineering projects.
