Skillnet opens applications for business mentoring programme
Applications for the latest round of the MentorsWork business development programme for SMEs.
Open to business owners and managers from all industries with a headcount of up to 250 employees, the 12-week the business mentoring programme introduces participants to a dedicated and experienced mentor who works with them to address specific areas of concern such as people management, business processes, finance, growth strategies, and digitalisation.
MentorsWork is an enterprise initiative of SFA, funded by Skillnet Ireland. Skillnet Ireland is funded from the National Training Fund through the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.
Paul Healy, chief executive of Skillnet Ireland, said: “At Skillnet Ireland we are fostering a culture of continuous learning and upskilling within our SMEs. The MentorsWork programme delivers support and mentorship opportunities that are driven by individual business needs. Expert mentors are helping SME owners to innovate, to adopt new technologies and to adjust to the ever-changing market dynamics. The feedback from programme alumni has been powerful with many citing MentorsWork as the key to their continued success.”
By the end of the programme, participants will have created a bespoke business improvement plan with their mentor to help guide them through the following six months. In addition to the 12-week programme, MentorsWork offers consultancy services and bespoke team training services to its alumni who have been through the initial programme and require more support with their business development plan.
The programme has supported more than 3,000 SMEs in Ireland since 2020.
