As part of EU Code Week and Junior Achievement Bulgaria’s initiative "Manager for a Day", students stepped into executive academic leadership and rectorate governance roles at the University of National and World Economy (UNWE) under the theme "From Digital Skills to Leadership Decisions." The initiative demonstrated how digital transformation frameworks, cybersecurity protocols, academic research analytics, international mobility systems, and corporate partnership platforms drive strategic decision-making at Bulgaria's leading economic higher education institution.

Participants shadowed the Rector and Vice-Rectors across core governance and institutional management domains, gaining direct exposure to university administration, digital infrastructure development, academic research coordination, and international outreach. The interns covered the following executive positions:

Rector of the University of National and World Economy (Ректор на Университета за национално и световно стопанство - УНСС)
Vice-Rector for Digitalization and Cybersecurity (Заместник-ректор по дигитализация и киберсигурност)
Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs (Заместник-ректор по учебната дейност)
Vice-Rector for Research Activities (Заместник-ректор по научноизследователската дейност)
Vice-Rector for International Affairs (Заместник-ректор по международната дейност)
Vice-Rector for Institutional and Business Cooperation and Student Policies (Заместник-ректор по инстит. и бизнес сътр. и студентски политики)

By connecting digital literacy, cybersecurity awareness, data-driven analytics, and computational thinking with high-level academic governance, the activity highlighted the vital role of digital skills in guiding modern educational leadership and institutional innovation.
