Sažetak
Practicality has always been one of the main drawbacks of educational and training programs in general, especially in those educational systems and markets more recently embracing market economy. Project management (PM) knowledge and skills are, on the other hand, highly practice oriented and can be treated as a profession, when considering professional associations, certification programs, professional training seminars, PMBOK, etc. The Republic of Croatia’s educational system and market definitely fits into much mentioned transitional economies, with all inherited flaws when faced with contemporary business challenges of competing in developed markets. Bearing this in mind, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the discrepancy between what the PM educational system has to offer and what practice does, i.e. PM related positions demand from freshly graduated students. In order to achieve the above-stated purpose, empirical research has been conducted on a sample of 52 PM programs involving graduating students from leading Croatian state and privately owned universities and 30 project managers from Croatian companies. The collected data were processed via SPSS 23.0 and Microsoft Excel. Obtained results, based on descriptive statistics, indicate on quite a gap between what the Croatian PM educational system has to offer and what practice demands and expects from freshly graduated students. In addition, research confirmed that, when compared to state owned universities, privately owned universities/schools and especially professional associations offer higher level of quality of education and training related to PM knowledge and skills.
