Mentoring in our view

  • Do you care about the economic development of our region?
  • Do you want to help French-speaking entrepreneurs?
  • Are you an entrepreneur with more than 5 years of business experience, including managing employees?

Mentoring for entrepreneurs focuses on the person running the business. It is a free coaching relationship based on trust and mutual respect, governed by rules, a code of ethics and a confidentiality agreement. It is a proven approach, the result of several decades of experience. This partnership allows both the mentor and the mentee to be confronted with different experiences and to learn from them professionally.

What is a mentor?

Being a mentor means supporting and accompanying entrepreneurs towards success, thanks to your experience. Your commitment is to create and maintain a human relationship in which the mentee will feel comfortable sharing without fear of being judged. Your role is to accompany the entrepreneur in his reflection and to guide him so that he finds his own answers and enables him to acquire better business reflexes.
Dans le but d’assurer un accompagnement de qualité et performant, Mentorat RésOntario a mis sur pied, par le biais de Réseau Mentorat dont l’expertise est reconnue partout au pays, un programme unique d’ateliers de perfectionnement et de reconnaissance des acquis des mentors. Ce programme, offert par notre partenaire Collège La Cité, comprend les éléments suivants :
