Representatives of the business community of the Bosnian-Podrinje Canton were also present at the signing ceremony. On that occasion, they expressed full support for the project and emphasized their willingness to actively participate in its practical implementation.
Representatives of the Ministry of Education and the business community expressed their gratitude to the Government of Switzerland and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) for their ongoing support and assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina, both through this and many other projects aimed at the development of education and the strengthening of local community capacities.
This agreement represents an important step toward the modernization of the education system in BPK, with a special focus on equipping young people with skills relevant to the labor market and enhancing cooperation between the education sector and the real economy—particularly in the context of digital transformation and Industry 4.0.
