A digital platform designed to monitor education and employment trends has been presented at a session of the Education and Employment Council of the City of Gradiška. The platform aims to provide businesses, schools, the city administration, and the employment office with centralized access to key data.
The President of the Council, Darko Vrhovac, emphasized that the platform represents an important innovation the city plans to introduce.
“The
goal is to have all relevant data in one place—covering education, the economy,
and unemployment statistics—so that the City Administration can access unified
and up-to-date information. Today, rapid response and timely measures are
essential in serving both citizens and businesses. The presented platform is a
comprehensive system that is yet to be fully implemented,” Vrhovac stated.
The platform’s creator, Kenan Mahmutagić, explained that the system would enable the City Administration to access real-time statistics, including data on surveyed students, enrollment quotas, labor market needs, and available professions.
“The
essence of the platform is to accelerate the implementation of the City
Administration’s Action Plan, while digitalizing and streamlining processes in
accordance with legal regulations and data protection standards. Previously,
these processes were significantly slower,” Mahmutagić said.
Representatives
of the education sector also expressed support for the initiative, highlighting
the importance of strengthening cooperation between schools, businesses, and
local government.
Sanja Pavlović, a professor at the Technical School in Gradiška, noted that the platform aligns with modern trends and brings clear benefits.
“The
digitalization of the City Administration and this process is highly valuable.
I believe users will recognize its benefits once it becomes fully operational.
Although this is just the initial phase, the initiative certainly deserves
praise,” Pavlović said.
In
addition to the platform presentation, Council members discussed the enrollment
policy of secondary schools in Gradiška, the upcoming International Economy
Fair “Gradiška 2026,” unemployment data provided by the Employment Office, and
other relevant topics.
