PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

With the accession of the Republic of Croatia into the EU, there have been many changes and new opportunities in the areas of economy, tourism, education, trade and the like. Projects funded through EU programs have become the focus of interest of the wider population. There is a lack of trained  personnel to draft EU funds projects in the labor market. The program is intended for those who want to get involved or are already drafting EU fund projects and want to formalize the skills and knowledge they possess. Besides  that with this kind of training  employers  will get an employee able to manage the project professionally, it will also ensure unemployed persons to be trained  to carry out, monitor, implement and evaluate a specific project, as well as to design  a new EU project  or a project for their own purposes.
