The new role of Bulgarian companies – education

Perhaps old as trade itself, hand in hand approach of learning and working occurs to be reinvented by Bulgarian companies. Especially  in the recent years. The number of firms investing in the education of individuals is growing. It is to fill the gap of missing qualified personnel. It turns out that universities and professional high schools are not good enough. If the country do not produce cadres needed by businesses. As a matter of fact, the educational system and the business have different agendas. However the problem is that both can’t go and look to entirely distinct directions.

And since academic structure happens to be slow and clumsy regarding alterations of perspective, the change was galvanised by the trade. Lots of Bulgarian companies – actually whole branches, constantly complain about the lack of trained employees. Many already made at least one move beyond complaining and started educating their future personnel. Some rely on state’s support, other exclude such option and go by own means of needs and knowledge.

Is there any reason to link the Bulgarian companies and the education?

A simple example of the first trend could easily be found in the IT sphere. Not one but numerous software academies already operate in Bulgaria.Their goal is to tutor more and more people to meet  the ever-growing demand of the industry. The cooperation with the state makes it easier for Bulgarian companies to train new labor force. In last few years the so-called dualistic education grows in popularity. It is a form of partnership between the state and the business in professional high schools. In the last two years of secondary education students not only study in the school but also work for some of the firms participating in the project.

Well, our expertise at BulgarianLaw.co is the law, not HR issues. Just keep in mind that Bulgarian companies have to overcome the lack of trained personnel before you decide to start one by yourself.
