The Employment Agency is actively involved in the implementation of projects financed under the Human Resources Development Programme and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, which promote digital literacy, upskilling and retraining of unemployed and employed people in the dynamically changing economic environment, said Ivelina Radevska-Stoimenova, Director of the Labor Bureau Directorate in Troyan and Apriltsi. She participated at a local conference held here on Friday as part of BTA’s Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project.
Radevska noted that the trainings are implemented by providing vouchers to people from target groups, who can choose the training organization and the format of the training. She added that after the changes adopted by the Council of Ministers, the trainings can be held at a time convenient for people, which will allow more interested parties to join them. The quality of the training will remain guaranteed as the trainees will be required to take a certification test. The application for issuing a voucher is submitted electronically through the website of the Employment Agency, Radevska added.
BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project aims to raise public awareness and foster open dialogue about cohesion policy, local achievements, and the implementation of the EU's policy priorities.

Cross-border conferences will be held in Belgrade, Bosilegrad, Bucharest, Edirne, Skopje, and Thessaloniki.
