Mentoring
Take your business to the next level with the support and guidance of a mentor.
Expert advice and guidance of WBDC’s experienced mentors can help you tackle the challenges of entrepreneurship and bring your business to the next level.
WBDC mentorship programs include Small Group Mentoring – where early stage entrepreneurs can learn in a group setting from a mentor and from each other – and One-on-One Mentoring, which is intended for owners of a more established business who are looking to conquer a particular obstacle or take advantage of a specific opportunity.
