The Regional Labor Agency in Yambol reports significant interest in highly educated personnel, with nearly one-fifth of the job openings intended for professionals with university diplomas.
The current report reveals a total of 56 vacant positions, with 12 of them aimed at specialists with higher education. Pedagogical specialists remain a leading priority, with six open positions in various educational fields.
The sought-after profiles include foreign language teachers – English and French, Bulgarian language and literature, biology. Additional experts are being recruited in areas such as energy, architecture, construction, and geodesy.
Employers are interested in accountants with economic education, social workers, technologists with mechanical engineering, construction engineers, and suppliers with mandatory foreign language proficiency.
Parallel to local job postings, the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy has launched a national program "I Choose Bulgaria", aimed at attracting Bulgarian citizens from abroad and stimulating internal mobility.
Deputy Minister Natalia Efremova explained that the program operates in two components. The first is directed at Bulgarians who have lived outside the country in the last 18 months or completed their education abroad. The second component encourages employment in settlements with a population under 50,000.
The initiative is funded by the Human Resources Development Program and represents a targeted strategy to overcome demographic challenges.
