What is a mentor?
The CEO mentoring program provides an effective networking model for students.
It establishes connections, strengthens understanding of complex career paths, and develops greater social skills through the mentorship experience. Ultimately, these relationships strengthen the CEO program’s success and build generational bridges between the CEO students and the business community.
A Mentor is a business owner, entrepreneur, or intreprenuer from the business community. A mentor is someone willing to share their time and expertise with a CEO student. Mentors attend a monthly meeting that takes place during CEO time.
