FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE ON NEW MODELS FOR DIGITAL SKILLS PROJECT
"Confederation of Employers and Industrialists in Bulgaria" (KRIB) successfully completed the project "Development of new models for digital skills in response to the challenges of the future labor market". Its main objective was aimed at overcoming the imbalances in the field of digital skills of the employed persons, thus companies will have a better chance of successfully going through the digital transition. This was announced by the project coordinator, Galya Petrova, at the final press conference, which was held on June 30, 2023, at the KRIB headquarters in Sofia.
According to data from the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, only 1/3 of the working population in Bulgaria has basic digital skills. Company statistics show that every fourth small and medium-sized enterprise has implemented and uses new technologies, while in the EU this percentage is over 55%.
Against this background, the results achieved by the project can be extremely useful in the development of comprehensive policies for the development of human resources in the new digital reality. KRIB has successfully developed and tested 75 unified profiles for digital skills, one for each key occupation/job from 17 economic activities, on which the employer organization carried out an extensive analysis.
For each of the sectors KRIB has developed sectoral qualification frameworks for digital skills and curricula and content. Over 700 people have been trained within the project.
"As the largest employers' organization, it is extremely important for us to encourage and support real businesses to successfully overcome various challenges facing employment, the modern labor market and digitalization. I believe that all the tools and training programs that we managed to develop will help Bulgarian companies to improve the skills of their workers and, accordingly, to increase the efficiency of production and create new business opportunities," said Galya Petrova.
The project, which starts on September 1, 2021, is financed by the Operational Program "Development of Human Resources" 2014 - 2020", under the procedure "Development of digital skills" Component 2, BFP contract No. BG05M9OP001-1.128-0003- C01.
