SBC Mentorship Programme

When experience meets ambition

The mentoring program of the Slovenian Business Club (SBC), in collaboration with GEA College, connects our students with successful and renowned Slovenian entrepreneurs who are members of SBC.

The goal of the program is to facilitate the exchange of experience, knowledge, and insights in the fields of entrepreneurship, business, and career development.

Selected students have the opportunity to work with mentors who guide them in developing their business ideas and career goals.

Through the program, we have already successfully connected three generations of students who have created remarkable mentoring stories.

Why join the mentorship program?

The SBC Mentorship Program is designed for GEA College students who are participating in the GEA Top Talents module and want to:

• Work with a successful and recognised Slovenian entrepreneur, a member of SBC, through a mentorship experience.
• Exchange ideas, insights, and experiences in entrepreneurship and business.
• Gain first-hand knowledge of entrepreneurship in practice from someone who has successfully built a business.
• Discover their own talents and achieve both personal and professional growth.

Mentorship Experience

During her mentorship, Lucija Prosen, in collaboration with Rok Starič, developed a tangible product.

“I designed my product based on a problem in a mushroom-growing business. My partner and I couldn’t sell all of our mushrooms to restaurants. We partnered with Rok Starič, who specializes in spreads, which was our initial idea as well. However, we realized that reaching the right customers was a challenge. Instead, we decided to create chocolate with walnuts, honey, and lion’s mane mushroom powder, known for its ability to boost brain activity,” she explained.
