Vic Gov's Business Mentoring

This mentoring program aims to provide experienced strategic advice to a firm's board and/or CEO, although it may also provide assistance to a small business operating on a sole trader basis.
Nature of assistance:


A specialist consultant or appropriately qualified professional can act as mentor to a firm. The mentor will provide advice and guidance to assist the business to focus on strategic and management transition issues, including:

• developing and implementing business goals
• broadening the firm's network
• improving management skills and expertise at the board and/or management level


The mentoring process could require the mentor to be involved with the firm over a period of up to 12 months.

Group mentoring is aimed at encouraging and developing the management skills and competencies required to support long term growth of a business and involves groups of participating firms.
