The Development Agency of Serbia (hereinafter: RAS) announces a Public Call for participation in the “Program of providing standardized mentoring services to sectors of the manufacturing industry in 2026”. <\/p>

The service refers to a free, standardized mentoring service for mature MSMEs operating within the manufacturing sector, namely: machinery and equipment industry; production of electrical equipment; food industry; wood and furniture industry; rubber and plastic industry.<\/strong><\/p>

The mentoring process<\/strong> takes place according to the methodology, which the Agency has been developing since 2006 in cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The methodology determines the steps in the process within which the professional person – mentor carries out in direct contact and work with the owner and\/or legal representative of the business entity (from 25 to 75 hours 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 mentor together study the current business, the reasons for current problems or obstacles to further development, the most important potentials for growth, and based on the ascertained situation, the mentor and the user of the mentoring service prepare a development plan\/project. <\/p>

The methodology of the standardized mentoring service clearly defines the steps and activities in the implementation of mentoring (management of the scheme, work in the field, number of visits, activities within each visit, time allotted for the preparation of the plan and reporting) through the guide General guide for mentoring, third edition, year 2026.<\/p>

Mentoring is a comprehensive process of supporting business entities that are at a crucial moment for development or survival. It represents the joint work of a mentor and a business entity with the aim of overcoming the current situation and finding the most favorable solutions for future business. Through this approach, the business entity receives regular, time-distributed continuous support, in order to achieve the best possible results. Japanese experiences in mentoring have shown that the effects of this type of non-financial support are far greater than occasional and short-term advice. <\/p>

Mentoring consists of the following services:<\/strong><\/p>
