The initiative targets young people between the ages of 17 and 29, representatives of various vulnerable groups - Roma, refugees, LGBTI people, young people growing up in extreme poverty and dropping out of school. There is no requirement for completed secondary education, but it is important for applicants to have basic functional competences in mathematics and Bulgarian language that later they can upgrade during the training program. All applicants will take a logical thinking test that will evaluate how appropriate they are to participate in the program.
