Curricular Planning – Expertise in Educational Program Development
Based on years of experience, our work in curricular planning focuses on bridging education with the labor market, aligned with the highest standards of the Croatian Qualifications Framework (CQF). Through ongoing commitment, we develop educational programs that meet the real needs of the market, enabling participants to gain essential competencies for success..
The Importance of the CQF in the Educational System
The CQF methodology provides a structured approach to developing educational programs with an emphasis on learning outcomes and competencies. Through the CQF, we ensure flexibility and adaptability in educational programs to meet specific employer needs, thereby strengthening the link between the education sector and the labor market.
Aligning Education with Labor Market Needs
Our experience highlights the importance of close collaboration with employers, industry experts, and institutions to keep educational programs relevant and aligned with changes in the labor market. By developing programs that incorporate modern technologies and methods, we enable participants to acquire knowledge and skills applicable in real work environments.
