For the start it will be focused on four occupations and even though it will reference Austrian, German and Swiss model where it has been successfully practiced, it will have specifics of the local environment. Chambers' delegation invited Mr. Vlado Prskalo, Assistant Minister to present the new model to the business community represented at the chambers. AmCham informed the Ministry that lack of practical work and knowledge is noticeable at the level of university graduates as well and closer cooperation between education system and business is needed.
