surface area close to Croatian island of Krk and a
population of 500 000 residents towards regional
centre of higher education is an event worth of
recognizing because of economic direction which
is very similar for both Croatia and Malta. In this
thesis, facts, opinions and experiences acquired

development with emphasis on skills that students
can use directly in their field of work.

and by being better connected with Enterprises,
significant impact can be made to improve
economical and demographical situation in
Croatia, which more than ever needs qualified
