The BizLabJunior project, implemented by the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism in Split in cooperation with Cemex Croatia, is an innovative business academy for upper-year pupils from four Eco-Schools in Kaštela and Solin. Its aim is to bring them closer to the real-world operations of local companies and organisations and give them insight into business, production and social processes.
Through twelve modules running until April, pupils will gain key knowledge of the sustainable economy, finance, entrepreneurship, management, marketing and digitalisation, with the opportunity to connect with local companies and develop business skills useful for their future careers.
As part of the programme and its planned modules, pupils will gain practical experience and insight into real business processes through visits to local companies. Accordingly, on 7 March Split Technology Park welcomed 40 pupils, the first generation of programme participants. The pupils toured Split Technology Park and learned about its work and its tenants. The startups SplxAI and Metabelly introduced themselves, presented their projects and answered the pupils’ questions. The pupils also took part in a 3D modelling training session led by a representative of the Split Technology Park 3D Lab. Through practical examples, they gained insight into the basic principles of 3D design and model-making technology.
This visit was an extremely valuable experience for the pupils, giving them insight into innovative business models and modern technologies.
