Looking for advice and support in the first year of business?The National Mentoring Programme is now inviting applications from female entrepreneurs, based in Dublin City.
The National Mentoring Programme for Female Entrepreneurs is suited to early stage female entrepreneurs. Those looking for advice and support will be matched with a mentor for a twelve month period of mentoring support.
The aim of the mentoring programme is to boost female entrepreneurship, recognise and support the nature of women’s business start-ups and ensure that newly-established female entrepreneurs have the guidance that they need throughout the first, challenging year of their businesses.
In addition to the twelve month mentoring programme, a series of mentoring clinics will be held throughout the country, open to all female entrepreneurs, offering them the opportunity to meet with the panel of mentors.
The National Mentoring Programme for Female Entrepreneurs is an initiative organised by the Galway Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the four Chambers of Commerce in Dublin, Cork, Waterford and Sligo.
The National Mentoring Programme for Female Entrepreneurs is part of a wider EU Commission initiative called the European Network of Mentors for Women Entrepreneurs.
Participation on the programme is by application only. The eligibility criteria and application forms are available on www.mentoringforfemaleentrepreneurs.com.
Applications are also invited from business owners (male or female) to join the panel of mentors for the programme. All details are available on the website.
