Labour Market Oriented Curriculum programme (LMOCP) is financed by the Austrian Development Cooperation, and will be implemented by the World University Service (WUS) Austria, over the next two years. The project objective is to establish links and close cooperation between higher education and labour market in Montenegro. Following the evaluation and selection procedure, the ceremony of contracts signing with the selected faculties of the University of Montenegro is planned for January 2009. The ceremony will mark a symbolic start of the LMOC programme under which four new or modified curricula including five courses (20 in total) will be introduced at different Faculties. Selected professors will develop the curricula in cooperation with specific corporate partners, national and international companies that operate in Montenegro, and Austrian/EU Higher Education institutions.
