On November 22, 2024, the first training course of the “Career Opportunities for People 50+” program, which was dedicated to personal skills and competencies, was successfully completed. The course ended with an award ceremony in SofiaLab, during which participants received their course certificates by Ekaterina Yordanova, Municipal Councilor at the Sofia Municipal Council and Chairperson of the Governing Board of Sofia Development Association (SDA).
The program is organized by SDA in partnership with the Young Talents Bulgaria platform and offers solutions to improve the employment of people over the age of 50. Created within the framework of the Syncusive project, the initiative includes a series of trainings on digital and green skills, personal skills and competencies, and provides career and psychological counseling to job seekers and people who aim to change their professional path. In 2025, the program will offer training to 100 people over 50 years of age to support their professional development.
The program is free of charge and is open to people on the territory of Sofia Municipality. The next course will be focused on digital skills, which will begin with face-to-face sessions from January 24, 2025, until February 7 (a total of 30 hours). Interested participants can register on the website of Sofia Development Association. For additional questions, please contact the SDA team at office@sofia-da.eu.
