The event was organized in cooperation with HRcomm, as part of regular activities supporting quality improvement in the context of a new approach to accreditation, which emphasizes the involvement of employers in higher education. Identification of practice needs and participation of relevant representatives of employers in the design, approval, and regular evaluation of study programmes are some of the key requirements of the standards of the Slovak Accreditation Agency for Higher Education. The participants of the panel discussion, who deal with these issues, either from the point of view of practice or at universities, discussed the needs of the internship, which university graduates they are preparing, and how to connect the internship with higher education.
The event was intended for representatives of universities, university teachers, representatives of students, reviewers, and representatives of employers.
