Crnogorska plovidba A.D. Kotor takes part in the project DUALMON – Strengthening capacities for the implementation of dual education in Montenegro Higher Education within the programme ERASMUS +. The main aim of the project is to improve the competences of higher education graduates in Montenegro, through the development of generic model of dual education (DUALMON model) and legal framework for introduction of dual education in order to support different needs and interests of students, companies, higher education institutions (HEIs) in the country and to provide recommendations to HEIs for implementation of dual education in the entire Montenegro. The project consortium includes twelve partners from four countries: Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and Austria. The project partners are University of Montenegro, Ministry of Education, and related institutions (Council for Higher Education, Agency for Control and Quality Assurance of Higher Education), Chamber of Economy and companies which are ready to participate in the pilot program of implementation of dual education.
