Abstract
Based on the theoretical analysis of contemporary realities and actual needs, this report presents the development of a competence model for social adaptation of released by the Bulgarian army servicemen. The focus is on knowledge and skills in terms of building competencies according to the European qualification framework. Lifelong learning is underlined as an inseparable part of the system of social adaptation considering the necessary changes in the field of education and training in Bulgaria too. Bearing in mind that those problems are not limited to the examined group under risk, main conclusions concern vocational education and training as deserving special consideration in the establishment of the social adaptation system and educational reforms in the country.
Keywords: social adaptation; social and psychological adaptation; social and psychological support.
