Employment data management

Assistant Director for Accreditation and International Cooperation Duska Radmanovic participated in the second meeting of the working group for higher education, which specifically discussed the methodology for collecting data on employment of people with higher education, held on December 7 in Banja Luka.
The working group operates within the project "Education and Employment" funded by the European Union, and deals with issues within the second component of the project "Quality Assurance in Higher Education" which aims to develop qualification standards and occupational standards, as well as improving mechanisms recognition of non-formal and informal education.
Expert consultant Sanja Crnkovic-Pozaic presented the methodology for estimating the demand for higher education knowledge and skills in the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the importance of analyzing employment data, where the unemployment rate is only one indicator, while it is equally important to take into account employment of individuals with different profiles of higher education, since a significant part of workers is not employed in their profession.
The plan for mapping selected study programs for which qualification standards and occupational standards will be developed was also presented at the meeting.
