Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor for "Experience Entrepreneurship" - an exciting initiative at Conestoga College.  Our students are anxious to meet you and learn from you as you share your business experience and passion with them.

 Mentors:

• Commit to at least 10 hours participation over 6 months, between October 2011 and March 2012. (We suggest at least 3 meetings.)
• Meet with the student to discuss their goals and aspirations.
• Provide an opportunity for the student to tour your organization and learn about your strategies for success.
• Participate in one of the Experience Entrepreneurship networking events. You can always expand your network too!
• If you both agree, explore opportunities to continue the mentor – mentee relationship beyond this program.
