Ten unemployed people begin work at Veliko Tarnovo Municipality under 'Employment Without Barriers'

Ten unemployed people begin work on 2 November 2026 at Veliko Tarnovo Municipality under the 'Employment Without Barriers' project. Eight of the new employees are people with long-term disabilities who use municipal social services, according to a municipal announcement reported by local media.

Support through real employment

The initiative is being implemented through the Human Resources Development Programme 2021–2027 under an employment agreement with Bulgaria's Employment Agency. Its aim is to offer work opportunities to people who face additional barriers when seeking employment.

According to the announcement, eight of the ten people hired have long-term disabilities and are users of municipal social services. The announcement does not specify every job role or individual employment conditions, so no assumptions should be made about them.

What this means for the local community

The programme offers a concrete opportunity to work rather than limiting support to training or counselling. It brings together the local authority and the national employment support system. Anyone seeking information about similar opportunities can check with the Employment Office and Veliko Tarnovo Municipality.
