CROQF FRAMEWORK project 2015 - 2019

The FRAMEWORK (OKVIR) project was carried out in 2015 and 2016 with the aim to adapt undergraduate and graduate civil engineering studies in Croatia to modern labor market needs and educational qualification standards in Europe. The project was co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF) through the Human Resources Development Operational Program 2007- 2013. Planned permanent results of the project were the establishment of qualification standards for undergraduate and graduate university studies of civil engineering based on learning outcomes and improvement of teaching competences through teachers’ education. Authors of the article researched and analyzed current status of Framework project’s results in 2019, three years after its completion, based on achievements stated in the proposal and final report of the project. A discussion of theinteraction of the Croatian Qualification Framework development (CROQF) at national level with Framework project’s specific elements and phases was conducted and resulting shortcomings were presented and explained. Finally, guidelines and recommendations on how to fully accomplish goals set within the Framework project were outlined for the future period, accentuating the importance of introducing different stakeholders in the process by networking higher education and labor market in the field of construction.
