The future of competences within the Croatian Qualifications Framework
Croatia is a country of rich history and cultural heritage, which sees its future in collaboration with the European Union, fully respecting its principles of freedom and mutual trust. Creating a competitive economic area is subject to the development and improvement of competences and their clear recognition and use for the wellbeing of employees, employers and the overall community. The Croatian Qualifications Framework (CQF) is a tool intended to facilitate employability, personal development of individuals and social cohesion. This is particularly important for societies in which economic and technological changes, as well as longer life expectancy have made lifelong learning a top priority of educational and economic policies. The significance of CQF is evident when it comes to better linkage between the needs of labour market and study programmes, as well as the evaluation of all learning results. Following the line of reasoning where CQF will become an essential requirement for the development of lifelong learning, which is the backbone of a knowledge- based society, Croatia has undertaken several reforms in its education system. Aiming at determining the importance of acquired competences and learning outcomes, a research was conducted involving a structured questionnaire and a sample of 271 students of the University North. The statistical method used was descriptive data analysis. The research results have confirmed that a higher level of competence development, or a higher level of knowledge and skills, enhances socially responsible business. Furthermore, they have confirmed that acquiring competences within the CQF framework and achieving expected learning outcomes will make competitive experts recognised by the labour market, which will then result in the start-up and development of companies, which will in turn create a competitive economy.
