Risk management is an essential element of the structure of corporate man-agement. It is used to solve multifaceted and complex tasks that largely determine the development and success of an organization. The dynamics of the surrounding envi-ronment requires the establishment of an adequate mechanism to facilitate the process of risk management in business organizations. In this light, an attempt was made to create a methodology to facilitate the process of organizational risk management. Stud¬ying the theoretical formulations of this issue and the practice of Bulgarian firms has led to the conclusion that it is possible to move towards a standardization method for risk management and that this process needs to be integrated in companies as part of their overall management system.

Human capital development requires lots of investments. They can actually be estimated and implemented by an individual, a business organization or the state. The usefulness of the investments is evaluated in terms of the effectiveness which they bring to the development of subjects and the implementation of their knowledge, skills and habits. The European Union funds various projects and schemes for unemployed and employed people related to the human factor development: „Back to Work”, „Development”, „Adaptability”, „I can”. We have tried to outline the main features of the above schemes. We analyzed them in terms of their realization putting emphasis on two regions with the highest unemployment rate – Montana and Smolyan. Particular atten¬tion is paid to the scheme „I can” and in particular to statistical data analyses and their links to data from the empirical research among service providers and individuals in¬volved in the scheme. We used data from the Employment Agency, opinions of experts and professionals engaged in implementing the schemes and based on the analysis we reached certain conclusions and offered some proposals.
