Abstract

The process of social adaptation of discharged servicemen requires the application of integrated approaches embracing different aspects and elements. Current study presents a competence model for social adaptation of discharged servicemen in Bulgaria as an example. It provides important implications on the concept of competences acquiring and the application of lifelong learning. The model is built on the basis of identifying key competencies as a starting point in accordance to contemporary trends, social and educational policies. Thus it appears to be feasible and could be successfully developed and applied into the practice.
