On April 10, 2025, Karazin University welcomed Philip James Hatch, a U.S. citizen, CEO of a business structure and CEO of ManpowerGroup SEZ in India, as well as the author of Canada’s reskilling strategy that led to the retraining of 4 million workers and an increase in GDP by over $500 billion.

He is also one of the founders of Jagora University in Cameroon and the founder of the Center for Biostatistical Programming in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
