THE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPLEMENTING A DUAL EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS CAREERS AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE

Abstract

The development of dual education is becoming an increasingly important aspect of the modern education system, especially in the domain of higher education. The aim of this research is to examine students' views on the integration of the dual education system at faculties. Dual education, which combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience through cooperation with the economy, can potentially improve students' competencies and increase the possibility of getting employment faster. In order to understand the importance of implementing such a system into the existing education system for the development of future business careers among young people, a survey was conducted among students of various faculties in the Republic of Srpska, in the city of Bijeljina. The research results provide information on the overall awareness of young people about the importance of dual education, but also how such a way of education can contribute to their future business careers. For the purpose of data processing and analysis, the statistical package SPSS and various tests such as descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U independent samples tests and Kruskal-Wallis test were used. The findings of the study can serve as a basis for further improvement of educational policies and programs which aim to integrate dual education into higher education system.
