The overall goal of the WBNET project is to introduce joint short study programs in the higher education institutions (HEIs) of the Western Balkans (WB) through the establishment of the Center for Short Study Programs. The role of the Center would be to:
- Analysis of the situation and identification of the needs of employers in order to identify the problem – lack of knowledge and skills to perform a specific job that corresponds to higher education in terms of type and level of competence and complexity.
- Creation of a curriculum of short study programs in the technical-technological field, a designed set of subjects and practice/training aimed at ensuring the acquisition of narrower and functionally related knowledge and skills, in order to train participants to perform specific work that corresponds to higher education in terms of type and level of competence and complexity.
- Registration of a short study program with competent national bodies.
- Implementation of a short study program.
- Keeping records of completed short study programs and issued certificates in accordance with national laws, through using mcrocredentials Within the framework of the project, a joint program of short studies in the field of multimedia engineering and computing would be implemented. The study programs would be implemented in a combined way (online – teaching, live – taking exams and professional practice). Teaching would be conducted by teachers from partner institutions WB and EU HEIs, as well as experts from the business sector.
