Rebus Approach of Entrepreneurship Learning

In the Western Balkan countries young generations prefer “safe” employment at public enterprises.

The Erasmus REBUS project is established with aims to promote entrepreneurship competences of graduates of engineering studies from the Western Balkan countries and Russia, through development, test, validation and mainstreaming of holistic and needs driven open learning modules. The project enabled strong support to address a challenge of bringing entrepreneurship into HEIs and establishing the interface between higher education and practical business context based on cooperation network of EU and Western Balkan countries. The paper is focused on Rebus approach of entrepreneurship learning in Western Balkan countries. REBUS project promote development of various entrepreneurship training modules and their integration into existing or new curricula at the HEIs, creation and adoption of entrepreneurship competence validation system, implementation and evaluation of the training modules and competence validation system. There will be also shown how Rebus project is implemented at the University of Montenegro, with focus at the process of learning about entrepreneurship, process of definition and realization of students’ project and validation of their knowledge.

Building Partnership with Suppliers of Macedonian Companies

Procurement of materials and spare parts for the needs of the companies is often a major source of problems for the quality of products and services.
