Ukraine has moved up 11 positions in the IMD World Talent Ranking 2018, leaving the bottom 5 of the list, according to the annual World Talent Report covering 63 countries in the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook.

"Ukraine’s strong performance in moving out of the bottom five originates mainly in gains in the implementation of apprenticeships, emphasis on employee training and the effectiveness of its health infrastructure. In addition, Ukraine improves in the prioritization of attracting and retaining talent, availability of a skilled labor force, financial skills and competent senior managers," the report says.
