After the successful first edition and the great interest, Sofia Development Association (SDA) and Young Talents 50+ launched the second edition of the digital skills course for people over 50 years old on 7 November 2025.

The course is free of charge and is held within the framework of the Synclusive project, funded by the Horizon Europe program. It is intended for people over 50 years old from Sofia, unemployed or employed, and aims to improve their professional skills in the field of digital technologies: working with artificial intelligence, using cloud services, cybersecurity (protection of personal data, devices and working with public digital services). Online consultations are also available between the in-person sessions. In addition, meetings with employers are organized within the course to support the job readiness and employability skills of the participants.

The trainings are part of the activities of SDA and SofiaLab, aimed at improving the employment of people 50+ in Sofia, with a focus on women. As a result of the previous trainings, some participants have already managed to find a new job.
