Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labor and Social Policy Lazar Lazarov approved an order to provide nearly BGN 5.7 million under the National Employment Action Plan. Additional funds will be directed towards employment and training programmes and measures for people from vulnerable groups in the labour market. The funding will enable 3 097 unemployed people to start work and 257 people to be included in training.

The reallocation of financial resources was approved today at a meeting of the National Employment Promotion Council. The majority of the funds will be used to include young people, the long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, the pre-retirement unemployed and people entitled to temporary protection.

Thus, the total number of people who will start working under the programmes and measures of the National Employment Action Plan in 2022 will reach 25,051 people. The number of trainees will increase to 10,743.
