In the second phase, elements of dual training are to be introduced on a pilot basis by improving the methods and content of practical training at agricultural colleges and teaching centres. The pilot testing of a  technological internship on farms is to serve as preparation for the formal introduction at further colleges.

The main operational partner of the project remains the WMZ VFPO – the subordinate national authority for teaching in agriculture of the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science – and four selected agricultural colleges in different regions of Ukraine (Glukhiv, Lipkovativka, Illintsi and Myrohoschanskyi), which are complemented by selected teaching centres in this phase.

The project continues to consider the five disciplines of animal production, veterinary medicine (zoo technician), plant production, agricultural engineering and electrical engineering.

The practical and methodological training for college lecturers are continued and the teaching materials developed are made generally available.
