The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) 2025 🚀 Boosting Students’ Employability through the Enhancement of Soft Skills, organised by the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, University of Rijeka, under the direction of Prof. Kristina Črnjar and PhD Vedrana Čikeš has been successfully completed.
The programme focused on developing the key soft skills needed for a successful career in tourism, including communication, teamwork, leadership and intercultural competence. Through a combination of virtual lectures and field courses, students had the opportunity to learn, collaborate and gain practical experience in an international environment.
A special contribution to the programme was made by our partners Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort & Spa and Maistra Hospitality Group, who gave the students an insight into the real business environment and potential career opportunities.
