Our mission The Bulgarian Careers Fair is organized by and for the Bulgarian communities abroad. It is Bulgarian students abroad who stand in the core of the organisation and who have set their mind on helping as many compatriots of theirs as possible to return and accomplish themselves in Bulgaria. In our country, nowadays, a dominant belief exists that it is simply not possible for a person to fulfil their full potential professionally in Bulgaria. Furthermore, in recent years emigration rates of young, highly qualified and able people have reached alarming levels. These two mutually reinforcing factors have created a vicious circle. This is why we, the team of the Bulgarian Careers Fair, took the cause of breaking this circle and showing all naysayers that there is a future in Bulgaria and for Bulgaria, but also that we are the ones who need to create it. 24.10.2016 4
