The successful piloting of the DUALMON project revealed that the implementation of dual higher education is key to adequately adapting the education system to modern market conditions and employers’ requirements. This was confirmed by the results of the survey of satisfaction of employers who participated in the piloting of the DUALMON project, which were presented at the International Scientific Conference on Industrial Systems, held in Novi Sad (Serbia) in October 2023. On that occasion, project team members presented the scientific paper named “Strategic development of higher education according to the needs of employers – dual higher education in Montenegro as a response to the challenges of modern education” which addresses the importance of dual education from the perspective of employers who participated in the DUALMON project. The authors pointed out that the results revealed high level of satisfaction of employers, whose main motive for participation in the project stemmed from the possibility of networking with educational institutions and the future workforce, as well as increasing the social reputation and social responsibility of the company itself. The obtained results enable a more detailed overview of the benefits, but also the challenges that need to be overcome in the future, in order to ensure the improvement of formal higher education in Montenegro, through development and implementation of the future strategy of dual higher education.
