WELCOME TO OUR MENTOR PROGRAM
Whether you’ve had great success in your own business, or are an expert in your field, mentoring is something you can do that makes a direct difference to someone else’s life.
Our mentor program is designed to match students, business founders, researchers, teachers and participants in our programs.
Enhance your leadership skills, build networks, shape the people in our community, and help people along the way.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Mentor Program connects our various programs’ participants, who are looking to develop their skills and capabilities, with you, industry experienced mentors. The program provides a network for both mentor and participant to develop ongoing relationships by meeting regularly for professional business development in an organised and supportive framework.
As a mentor within these programs, you may engage with your participant in a group or through one on one support. You can test their ideas, provide constructive feedback, and help guide them toward building a successful, innovative business.
WHY BECOME A MENTOR WITH US
The benefits of being a mentor are more than feeling good about giving back. Our mentor program is designed so that everyone who joins becomes part of our vibrant community. We celebrate your contribution to the success of our programs, and provide connections with our students, researchers, and industry partners.
