At the beginning of June 2019, 28 regional employment programs will be launched in all areas of Bulgaria. The regional employment programs will provide work for 3 – 6 months for 2400 unemployed, including NEETs. The funds are from the active labor market policy budget of the National Employment Action Plan for 2019 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy.

Priority will be given to people from vulnerable groups on the labor market, including unemployed young people under 29, people over 50 and long-term unemployed. The implementation of the regional employment programs will continue until the end of 2019. Regional programs will be financed by BGN 8.8 million, which is 10% more than last year.
