The President of BCCI, Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov, held a meeting with Mr. Ander Iliev, executive director of “Leader” Academy. Generation Z covers the young people born between 1999 and 2012 who will be the future leaders and main workforce and also the engine of the economy.
“Leader” Academy has developed a methodology for career profiling. Up to this date, it has directly supported more than 1,500 young people in their career development through seminars, trainings, international camps as part of the 1-year Career Acceleration Program that it has developed. 100 young people from all over Bulgaria will receive a full scholarship for the program as part of the "100 Rising Stars" campaign. Nominations for young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who intend to receive a scholarship for the program, can be applied here.
In addition, the academy also conducts the largest study in Bulgaria concerning the needs, attitudes and mindsets of GenZ towards the labor market, based on which a free-of-charge business report is currently being prepared.
“Leader’ Academy invites organizations to join its partner network and have access to motivated and ambitious young people who in turn contribute to the development of their business. You can learn more about the focus of the Leader Academy in 2024 and partner packages here.
