CroatiaIn Croatia, interest in two-year vocational studies at the sub-degree level is growing, as these programs aim to equip participants with skills needed immediately by employers. At a recent conference organized by HUP, Mislav Balković, president of HUP and rector of the University of Applied Sciences Algebra, emphasized that such programs serve as a bridge between secondary education and higher education. He noted that graduates of these shorter programs often find employment more easily compared to those who complete traditional undergraduate degrees, which sometimes lead to roles less directly involved with customers. These programs attract both employed and unemployed individuals seeking new skills and practical knowledge. While there is currently no direct financial support for these studies, vouchers for short educational programs are available through HZZ. The goal of the conference was to promote these programs to employers as innovative qualifications in a time of rapid technological change and strong demand for specific skills.
