The conference brought together key stakeholders, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture and the Minister of Labor of Bulgaria, to discuss critical issues concerning the emerging European labor market.
With the expansion of the European Union and the increasing mobility of labor across borders, it became essential to address the challenges and opportunities arising in the evolving European labor market. The conference provided a platform to explore strategies to enhance vocational education and training to meet the demands of this changing landscape.
