Abstract

One of the major tasks of Bulgaria is to create favorable conditions for the university education and professional development of young people. This is a national cause that will provide European development of Bulgaria. On the other hand the up-to-date education and opportunities for development of young people would contribute to improve demographic status in the country. Also they are major factors for overcoming the economic crisis and increasing the quality of life. The EU developed a special Resolution on the social inclusion of young people to meet the requirements of the Lisbon Strategy. All activities and events aim at promoting the entrepreneurship, innovations and competencies of young people. The goal is to stimulate young people to strive for independency and realization by taking independent decisions and applying individual approach to life. The paper discusses a concept for development of electronic forms for distance learning as required condition for adapting the education to business needs. The achieved results according to the implementation of the pre-set indicators in the project: “Development of Electronic Forms for Distance Learning and Virtual Library at Todor Kableshkov University of Transport, Sofia” are presented. In current market conditions, the contemporary universities have to efficiently combine education with business so that they can meet the challenges of the labor market.
