Marika Apostolova Trpkovska, M-r.; Burim Ismaili, BsC.SEEU Staff Opinion Regarding Project IdeaProf. Dr. Zamir Dika, Rector ElectEmerging requirements of the society/industry for qualified workforcehave put Higher Education institutions in an environment of rapid changes.The reforms undertaken by HE institutions are in the line of strengtheningthe competencies and skills of the graduates in preparing them to faceimmediately the requirements of the real working place.
