Business Mentors Programme
The Business Mentors Programme is designed to encourage
qualified mentors to provide various forms of assistance
to eligible mentees. We do not allow self selection of
our database, instead, we will hand-pick the most suitable
mentors (up to three mentors) for the mentee to contact.
The Business Mentors Programme is designed to enhance
the capabilities of the mentees and to improve their ability to
compete for big business and Government contracts successfully.
Under the programme, mentors may provide the following
kinds of assistance to mentees:
- Technical and management assistance
- Sources of financial assistance in the form of equity investments or
loans, where applicable
- Sub-contractual support
- Assistance in performing prime contracts through joint-venture agreements
- Expertise, resources, and capabilities are made available
A Mentor should:
- Be of good character
- Be respected in the business community
- Impart value to a mentee due to lessons learned and practical experience
gained
- Be subject to the code of conduct of a reputable professional union,
association or institute
