MIC - Šolski center Celje

What MIC - Šolski center Celje does

MIC - Šolski center Celje is the Medpodjetniški izobraževalni center (Inter-Enterprise Education Center) of Šolski center Celje, a publicly funded Slovenian educational institution (javni zavod) established in 2007 and headquartered at Pot na Lavo 22, Celje. It operates as the adult education and vocational training arm of a larger school center that encompasses six vocational schools, a gymnasium, and a higher vocational school, giving MIC direct access to shared workshops, faculty, and laboratory infrastructure. The organization employs 36 staff and delivers programs exclusively within Slovenia, with a geographic focus on Central Slovenia.

The core offering comprises vocational education programs across ten disciplines — automotive service, electrical engineering and computing, construction, chemistry, hairdressing, logistics, media technology, mechanical engineering and mechatronics, textiles, and environmental protection — supplemented by National Professional Qualifications (NPK) certification in fields including welding, CNC operation, electrical work, and construction. Specialized short-course professional training is offered in partnership with Siemens, plus dedicated modules in auto diagnostics, oscilloscope measurement, and automotive air conditioning servicing. The underlying technology stack is conventional: e-learning is delivered through the ePortal IO and Spletna učilnica platforms, supported by Microsoft Office 365 infrastructure; no proprietary AI or data platform exists.

The business model combines public-sector funding (Ministry of Education allocations, European Social Fund Plus grants) with transactional learner-paid fees. Direct commercial revenue is limited to small individual fees such as the €267 NPK welder certification (excluding VAT). Marketing and enrollment flow through the institutional website (mic.sc-celje.si), information days, the MIC novičKE newsletter, and coordinated national events including Tedni vseživljenjskega učenja (Lifelong Learning Weeks) in which MIC serves as thematic coordinator for 30+ implementers. Customer segments span working-age adult learners seeking requalification or secondary education completion, professionals pursuing credentialing, and — as a newer segment — seniors (65+) targeted through the 2026 Dedi in babi AI HECatlon intergenerational AI literacy program.
