What is Group Mentoring for Women Entrepreneurs?
As a female entrepreneur, you’ve amassed valuable experience and cultivated significant professional networks. You’ve courageously chosen to explore new opportunities, expand your business, assemble a team, or venture into new markets. Yet, we recognize that balancing professional growth with personal life can be daunting. Rest assured, you’re not alone in this journey!
Thanks to funding from the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, the SDÉCB has partnered with WeBC, The Forum, and Women’s Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC) to introduce, for the first time, mentoring groups specifically tailored to women in business, offered in both French and English, nationwide.
SDÉCB takes pride in this partnership and is delighted to host the mentoring groups (Peer Growth Mentoring) in French for women entrepreneurs in British Columbia and across Canada.
