The course will secure the real needs of the labor market in the formation of industry specialists. The problem concerns not only our city but also the entire region on a provincial scale. The most important moments were to program the course in such a way as to secure the most important aspects related to the knowledge useful to the student, which will allow him to move freely in the labor market. In addition to technical and specialized knowledge, our students asked us for additional consultations in the field of law, copyright law, managerial activities and construction of contracts (concert, agency, work). The course is based on the individual needs of students and the development of their creativity, interests and career paths.
