Tbilisi State University Quality Assurance Service actively participates in the work of the thematic group, five online meetings were held and the group is currently working on developing recommendations. Tbilisi State University participates in the working group together with leading European universities.

The thematic group will exchange experience for one year and develop recommendations that will help higher education institutions to improve the quality of educational programs, teaching and learning process. In particular, the main focus of the thematic group is to identify the skills necessary for the successful employment of students/graduates in educational programs, to integrate them into the curriculum, and to collaborate with universities and industry.

The policies and methods of employer involvement in the development, evaluation and development of educational programs at Tbilisi State University were considered a good practice and caused special mention and interest, as well as the involvement of employers in external quality assurance processes.
