Virtual Mentorship

1. Virtual Business Mentorship

We are conducting research on the feasibility of establishing a Virtual Mentorship program to support entrepreneurs anywhere in Saskatchewan at any stage of their business development. Information you provide will be used to determine if a Virtual Mentorship Program is needed, and if so, what it should look like. In keeping with the Privacy Act, information is confidential, will not be used for any purposes other than as specified, and will be destroyed once the data is analyzed.

A Virtual Mentorship Program refers to providing, at bare minimum, a method of locating and connecting to a mentor or protégé through the internet. It can also include many more features such as training, online forums, resources, and enhanced support or mentor relationship management.
