The implementation of new technologies in economic activity is a question of present interest, given that it leads to transformation of existing business mo¬dels. This, in turn, changes the required personnel training. The aim of the present paper is to study the degree of readiness of economics students for professional realization under the conditions of digital transformation and to identify the main challenges and priorities as a basis for improving their preparation. In relation to this the following research objectives are set: to examine the main characteristics of digital transformation and some good practices in this regard while focusing on higher education; to analyse some documents regarding the development of higher schools in the NC planning region; to study the opinion of economics students about the quality of the training they have acquired in regard to the new requirements of the labour market; to derive guidelines for improving the degree of employment readiness of future economists. The main research thesis is that students have a certain employment readiness in the digitalising economy, but their knowledge and skills are rapidly becoming outdated or insufficient, which necessitates continuous training, and higher education institutions should serve these needs. The results of the research show that economics students in the NC planning region have the potential for employment under the conditions of digital transformation. However, some guidelines for improving their qualification have been derived, on the basis of self-assessment of their competences.

The idea of achieving a balance of interests between the economy and the natural and social environment, subordinated to the understanding of protection and restoration of natural resources, has a leading importance in the construction of modern sustainable policies. The research aims to outline the essence and specificity of the modern policy for achieving sustainable growth, with which the EU, and together with this our economy, strive to improve the well-being of society as a whole. In the overall policy, the European Green Deal occupies a central place because it is seen as a prerequisite for generating sustainable and inclusive growth. In this sense, the areas for the realization of sustainable and inclusive growth in pre-selected economies of EU member states, comparable to that of Bulgaria, are defined as an object of research, according to the Sustainable Development Goals. The research proves the hypothesis that in the EU, as well as in Bulgaria, there are prerequisites, interested parties and means for building a comprehensive policy to achieve and maintain sustainable and inclusive growth, which is supported by the European institutions and the European funds for its financing. The focus of the study is to measure advancement on the EU's Sustainable Development Goals by monitoring progress to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth, which allows a comparative analysis to establish what Bulgaria has achieved.
