I have had a pleasure of working with Dejana during my employment as Marketing coordinator at University of Belgrade Career Development Centre. She was a great mentor, a leader that motivates her team to overachieve expected results of any project. For a young employee as myself was, her trust and support created inspiring working environment. Dejana is a person of great social intelligence, ambitious and brave in her professional goals. She brings a high dose of creativity and innovation in her work, and keeps herself updated with the newest trends in her profession and closely related fields. Without any doubt, I would recommend Dejana as she would bring diverse set of values to any organization or company.

As TEMPUS CareerS project coordinator, Dejana was very professional, friendly and supportive. She was able to control stressful situations, deliver planned outcomes on time and maintain a positive work atmosphere. Well, it is not easy to stay quite official when I speak about Dejana. For me, she is a person of trust, a friend and someone I would always work with. I am sure that her team members think the same.

      The CONGRAD /Conducting Graduate Surveys and Improving Alumni Services for Enhanced Strategic Management and Quality Improvement/ project’s wider objective is to enable Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina to continuously conduct graduate surveys for the purpose of enhancing study offerings and facilitating permanent modernisation processes.

Taking into account previous study conditions and the occupational career of graduates, CONGRAD aims for a general insight in country specific conditions of the transition from higher education to labour market, and shall enable partner country HEIs to make evidence-based strategic decisions. In more specific terms, CONGRAD is expected to result in the implementation of a systematic data collection system about alumni at partner countries’ HEIs. An initial graduate survey will be conducted: data collection, verification and analysis will be followed by the interpretation of findings and the production of reports. Strategic management workshops based on the reports will be held in each partner countries’ HEI. Additionally, a regional conference and an expert workshop will be organised. CONGRAD results will be exploited through the development of an action plan for future graduate surveys including other HEIs in the Western Balkans. Show less
