Vivacom's Job Lab equips 120 Bulgarian students with soft‑skill training

Vivacom, a Bulgarian telecom operator, launched the pilot edition of its socially responsible initiative Vivacom Job Lab, training 120 students in the 11th and 12th grades. The programme, modeled on United Group projects in Slovenia, Bosnia‑Herzegovina and Croatia, adds a special module for orphaned youths living in a transitional home in Sofia.

Workshops were held in Sofia, Blagoevgrad, Varna and Veliko Tarnovo in partnership with the NGO "Развий се". Interactive training covered critical thinking, teamwork, communication, adaptability and digital literacy. In Varna, students used LinkedIn for real‑world case studies; in Veliko Tarnovo they worked on team‑building exercises. The three‑stage programme culminated with a visit to Vivacom’s headquarters, where participants presented their ideas for future careers.
