Career Days 2013

More than 50 state institutions and leading Bulgarian and international companies in the sectors of Economics, Finance, Human Resources, Marketing and Customer Services participated in the Career Days at the UNWE under the patronage of the Rector Prof. Statty Stattev. Due to the organizers namely the JobTiger, Inter-University Center for Career Development and Students Council the employers presented to students their internship programmes and job opportunities.

It is a very good opportunity for a direct real relation between the education and the business, said the Rector Prof. Statty Stattev who opened the Career Days at the Ceremonial Hall.

Assoc. Prof. Biser Petkov, Manager of the National Insurance Institute said: I am proud of I have graduated from the UNWE. Three quarters of the total 3700 employees at the National Insurance Institute are the UNWE alumni.

It is a pleasure for me to meet with young and ambitious people. The Career Days are a unique chance for students to find their employer, declared Rositsa Yankova, Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Policy. She examined the state of the labour market and emphasized that one of the main problems was the lack of professional experience. Yankova announced that some alterations in the Employment Promotion Act had been prepared which would give an opportunity of graduates to work in the most preferred sectors at the labour market. 

Svetlozar Petrov, Manager of the JobTiger announced that since 14 years his company had been concerned with the relation between the education and the business organizing similar events. He expressed his thankfulness to the Rector Prof. Statty Stattev and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jordan Bliznakov, Director of the Inter-University Career Center for the successful partnership. “The way to the personal happiness goes through the good job”, outlined Petrov and wished success to the students in their future career.

The difference between the successful and failure people is not in the lack of knowledge but in the lack of a will, declared Violina Marinova, Chairwoman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Director of DSK Bank, member of the Trustees Council of UNWE. She wished the students persistence and recalled them that DSK Bank participating also in the Career Days had offered an internship programme and any young educated person had been welcomed.

Kamelia Lozanova, Executive Director of the Bulgarian National Employment Agency turned to students with the following words: “The doors open ahead of you without you have to knock on them. I wish you a lot of success and money but don`t lose your hearts”.

According to the Chairman of the Students Council Antoan Shotarov the Career Days at the UNWE refute the commonly circulated assertion that the relation between the university and the business had been broken.

During the whole day at the university lobby the students from the UNWE and other universities had the chance to know about the opportunities for internship and work offered by the state institutions and companies.
