I·CARE Programme Social Enterprise Mentoring Scheme
The Social Enterprise Mentoring Scheme aims at providing training and mentoring for students or recent graduates who wish to start a social enterprise, are looking to further develop an ongoing enterprise, or simply have an idea for a socially beneficial business and need some help to get it off the ground. No matter you already have a fully fledged social enterprise running or only a vague idea for a project, we are happy to offer the support and guidance to help you with the next steps!
What we offer:
One-on-One Mentoring
Our mentoring service gives young social entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn from experienced leaders to grow your projects. You can seek one-on-one guidance and advice, get connected with networks and resources, gain understanding of a business, and have someone to give you an unbiased and external perspective to your business strategies. Current mentors include highly experienced banking, financial and investment professionals. If you would like to get enrolled with our mentorship service, please contact us with a short statement telling us what interests you as a social entrepreneur. We will then help you to get connected with the right professionals working in related fields.
