Project Management, a compulsory course in the fifth year of the
Management course, is recognized by the International Project Management
Association (IPMA), a non-profit consortium of 72 associations
operating worldwide in collaboration with experts, organizations,
government agencies, and universities to develop the necessary
project management competencies, and the profession as a
whole. As of this year, the course is included in the IPMA Education
& Training Registration System (IPMA REG system), a global network
of quality courses/programs in the field of project management,
and the IPMA scheme of continuous professional development
to be competitive in the labor market, as well as the CPD hours
required for the certification process according to the IPMA 4-LC
and Agile system.
How important the area is today was pointed out by Prof. Mislav
Ante Omazić, Ph.D., co-holder of the course Project Management:
“Projects are very likely an organizational form that students will encounter
at the beginning of their professional work, however and wherever
their career develops in the future. Namely, we live in a world of
increasingly complex business problems, the solution of which requires
various specific competencies that can only give sustainable results
through synergy."
On July 9, 2020, the IPMA REG Vice President for Professional Development
Prof. Mladen Vukomanović, Ph.D., Vice Dean for Strategic
Partnerships and Projects Assoc. Prof. Sanja Sever Mališ, Ph.D.,
and co-lecturer in the course Project Management Assist. Prof. Rebeka
D. Vlahov Golomejić, Ph.D., presented the IPMA REG certificates
to the first generation of students who participated in the registered
Project Management course and managed a portfolio of projects
intended to create business opportunities for the residents of
the Republic of Croatia in order that they don't need to look for the
future abroad.
According to Professor Vukomanović, the students of the Faculty of
Economics & Business have thus taken the first step towards professional
development in the field of project management and become
part of the international IPMA family.
