Upon completion, participants will receive certificates detailing the attended courses and practical training.

Representatives of local companies participated in the roundtable discussion:

JP Radio-television Cazin d.o.o. – Kenan Alagić

Industry representatives presented their needs in the fields of electrical engineering, software engineering, computing, and multimedia, emphasizing the importance of programs that will enable employees to receive additional training and professional development in line with market dynamics.

The Technical Faculty of the University of Bihać, together with higher education institutions from Spain, Slovenia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is in the final phase of a project aimed at implementing such flexible courses in cooperation with companies.

The WBNET project runs from December 2023 to November 2026 and promotes collaboration between academia and industry, as well as the exchange of knowledge and best practices between the Western Balkans and the EU.
