Community Futures North Central Development is looking for both new and experienced entrepreneurs to help start up a mentorship program.

The goal in mind with Community Futures’ new Business Mentorship program is to align new entrepreneurs with experienced business owners who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise.

Program Coordinator Leann Brown explains the benefits that business owners will get out of applying for this program.

“It increases your client base, it’s good for networking opportunities, and you get to meet new people who you might not have otherwise met. Having that second opinion is also very good, and if you’re lacking knowledge in certain areas, it could be beneficial that the mentor and mentee can bounce ideas off each other. It’s not a large time commitment, but I think it’s a very important piece overall that could be the success of the business.”

For more information on the program, or to sign up, call Leann at 204-677-1493.
