Pucko otvoreno uciliste Cakovec
Croatia
Čakovec University is a recognized educational institution for adults founded in 1955 by the city of Čakovec. As the adult education community body of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, the university is constantly developing its curriculum to meet the growing educational needs of society.
As an adult education institution, Public Open University Čakovec has continually aligned programming with the evolving needs of adult learners and current labour market trends. Formal vocational courses are provided to expand skills and employability. Complementary non-formal workshops are offered in arts, languages, and technology to engage senior citizens and members of other vulnerable groups such as the Roma and unemployed, fostering social inclusion and preventing marginalization.
Relevant experience includes implementing the “ISKRA” project in collaboration with partner institutions. This initiative utilized art workshops to develop creativity and improve social engagement among adults 55+. As partners in the ESF “Istakni se, osvoji posao 2” project with the Croatian Employment Service, we strengthened competences and enhanced employability for unemployed participants through conversational language courses in German and English. Additional background is available regarding the organization’s participation in diverse EU-funded projects on our website: https://pou-cakovec.hr/en/projects/.
