Abstract: The objective of this paper is to assess the link between higher education institutions in the aspect of development of the curricula and their match with the existing requirements by the employers, which represent the labour market offer in Kosovo. The data used in the paper are gathered form the survey that was conducted by the authors during the period March-October 2020, in Republic of Kosovo. The results of the testing done through our econometric models shows that there is a positive relationship in the cooperation between businesses (that is employers) and universities and other higher education institutions, in designing the curricula for study programs and in increasing the employment rates of graduates. Moreover, in the case of businesses, this cooperation is positive, while in the case of universities and other higher education institutions no significant results were found.
