\n\tThe scholarship selection process begins after the application period for the Raise the Bar scholarships closes, with a review of candidates’ application forms, motivation letters, and letters of recommendation. An expert jury, comprising renowned Croatian chefs, representatives from Coca-Cola HBC Croatia\u2019s Human Resources Department, and members of the Raise the Bar project team, participate in the selection process. The scholarship recipient will be chosen based on their scores and performance against established criteria in technical knowledge assessments, psychological testing, and interviews. During the assessment process, the expert jury will decide, based on the candidates’ experience, knowledge, and skills, whether a candidate is best suited for the scholarship (tuition coverage) or an internship.<\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\n

\n\tBased on a motivational interview, a technical assessment, and the candidate’s overall experience to date, the jury decides whether a school program or an internship is more suitable for the scholarship recipient’s career development. The specific school or restaurant for the internship is selected based on the candidate’s test results. Throughout the process, the primary consideration is what will be the greatest benefit for the scholarship recipient. Scholarship-funded schooling is intended primarily for individuals who need to work on fundamental techniques and knowledge, as well as the specialized skills often provided by schools. On the other hand, internships are designed for more advanced candidates who need to improve their speed and advanced techniques or learn through direct mentorship<\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\t\t
