WHAT SCHOLARSHIP IS GIVEN TO THE UNEMPLOYED WHILE STUDYING

Unemployed persons enrolled in training for adults, organized by the Employment Agency, are paid scholarships. The amount of the scholarships is determined every year in the National Employment Action Plan, the agency specifies.

Until the adoption of the National Employment Action Plan for 2023, this amount is BGN 10 for each day of attendance. Funds for scholarships are paid by the territorial division of the Employment Agency ("Labour Office" Directorate), where the unemployed person is registered, based on a document issued by the training institution certifying the days of attendance at classes.

Completed professional training with the acquisition of a degree of professional qualification is certified by a Certificate of professional qualification. For completed training in professions, the exercise of which requires legal capacity, including for the exercise of regulated professions, a Certificate of Legal Capacity is issued.

A Vocational Training Certificate is issued for completed vocational training to acquire a qualification in a part of the profession.
