Ana Bogićević of GiGroup moderated a creative workshop on mentorship. After an introductory exercise designed to help participants get to know each other, the attendees were divided into break-out manager-student groups. Each group created their ideal mentor or mentee using collages made from magazine and newspaper clippings.
Parallel sessions for students and managers were facilitated by Ivan Vučićević of Adecco and coaching expert Jelena Kralj. Ivan talked to the students about their first jobs, analyzing the job market from an employer’s perspective. Conversely, Jelena led an interactive coaching session with managers that emphasized responsibility in decision-making.
