Skills are vital for enabling individuals and countries to thrive in an increasingly complex, interconnected and rapidly changing world. For Bulgaria, implementing a strategic approach to skills policies is essential, given the country’s exposure to demographic and digital disruptions and persistent inequalities among different social groups.
Against this backdrop, the OECD and the Directorate General for Structural Reform Support (DG Reform) co‑operated to provide technical assistance to Bulgaria as part of the Project “Technical support for the development of a National Skills Strategy for the Republic of Bulgaria”. This report provides guidance to the Bulgarian Government for developing an Action Plan for Skills that supports the country in developing and implementing a comprehensive set of skills policy actions.
This project “Technical support for the development of a National Skills Strategy for the Republic of Bulgaria” was funded by the European Union via the Technical Support Instrument and implemented by the OECD, in cooperation with the European Commission.
