OBJECTIVES OF SOP HRD
Main objective of SOP HRD:
“creation of an open, knowledge based society through creating the  conditions for human resource development through education, training and employment”.
The specific objective of the programme is to develop a competitive economy based on knowledge and entrepreneurship. The harmonized development of economy should ensure employment growth and improvement of social, economic and spatial cohesion with the European Union at the regional and national level. The SOP HRD objectives are achieved through three priorities:
Priority 1: Active labour market and vocational and social inclusion policy
The objective of this priority is to strengthen the potential of the institutional servicing of employment services claimants, social assistance and other institutions operating for the labour market. It should also support measures for the benefit of all job-seekers and the unemployed persons and persons from high-risk groups. It is also the objective of the priority to provide equal opportunities of women in access to the labour market and employment.
Priority 2: Development of a knowledge-based society
The education system should enable persons in any age to acquire skills that will allow them to enter the labour market. For this reason it is the objective of the priority to increase access to education and to raise its level. It is also important to incorporate modern technologies to the education process. Other objectives of the priority are: to raise qualifications of employees, to promote education in the field of entrepreneurship and flexible forms of employment. And this priority also aims at the improvement of the quality of work of administration.
Priority 3: Technical Assistance
The objective of the priority is to support institutions involved in SOP HRD implementation to enable them to effectively allocate EU resources, in accordance with community policies. The Department for ESF Management in the Ministry of Economy, Labour and Social Policy is responsible for SOP HRD implementation.  SOP HRD is a „mono-fund” programme (all its measures are co-financed by the European Social Fund). ESF may also co-finance projects, which achieve the objectives of priority 2 of the Integrated Regional Development Operational Programme.
