Abstract: When faced with financial and economic crisis the labor market in Bulgaria as a whole, as well as individually in the different regions, tends to undergo certain changes. Unemployment rates gradually increase and labor force segments shift parameters.In the end of 2008 in the district of Veliko Tarnovo for example, the registered unemployed individuals were 9,343 and the "youth unemployment" - 1,365 individuals, at an unemployment rate of 6,90%.Ratios between the number of registered university students actively searching for a job and the number of graduates who found employment through participation in student programs, temporary or regular jobs - 47,0 %.This result is not good and something has to be done in order to change the current situation. That's why the Academician staff at the Veliko Turnovo University (VTU) is working for supporting students in their career path.The main tools and approaches for supporting students in successful placement at VTU are:1. University Carrier Center, which was established in 1995.2. Involving students in National projects for successful placement in collaboration with industry.3. Involving students in European level projects motivating and supporting them being students to start their own business.4. the European level projects, motivating and supporting students to start their own business.
