The public call for the implementation of a standardized mentoring service is published in accordance with the Program of the Ministry of Economy - Standardized set of services (SSU) for micro, small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs in 2019, which is implemented through accredited regional development agencies (ARRA).
The mentoring service is intended for micro, small and medium-sized companies and entrepreneurs, clusters and cooperatives, with the aim of providing support for smooth development and reducing the number of unsuccessful economic entities, clusters and cooperatives, through providing comprehensive and timely support to users.
The mentoring process takes place according to the RAS methodology, developed in cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The methodology determines the steps in the process in which the professional person-mentor conducts in direct contact and work with the owner and/or legal representative of the business entity, i.e. the management/administration of clusters and cooperatives, a certain number of hours (from 25 to 50 per user) and that in the user's premises (not less than 75% of the total number of scheduled hours). The owner and/or legal representative of the business entity and the management/management of the cluster and cooperative (that is, the delegated persons of the governing body of the cooperative) and the mentor together study the current business, the reasons for current problems or obstacles for further development, the most important potentials for growth, and based on the established situation, the mentor and the user of the mentoring service prepare a development plan/project.
The methodology of the standardized mentoring service clearly defines all steps and activities in the implementation of mentoring (scheme management, field work, visit, activities within each visit, time allocated for plan preparation and reporting) through guides: General guide for mentoring, Guide for mentoring for beginners and Guide for mentoring mature companies.
Mentoring consists of the following services:
