A Mentorship Program for the Nordic Business Council Members
Through the Mentorship Program, NBC and the other Nordic Business Councils will link ambitious professionals with knowledgeable executives and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to promote a mutual exchange of ideas and experience between mentors and mentees. The program provides participants with personal career guidance, ideas, business training and networking opportunities to foster the relationships between the more experienced members and the young professionals. The goal is to create valuable synergies between mentors and mentees, where both can grow from each other’s experiences.
6 Month Program

A Launch event, where all participants will receive a framework as a guideline.
-
A Mid program review event, to check how the progress is developing.

We would like to point out that it is the mentor and the mentee who decide how the mentorship program and their relationship develops. When and where they will meet, how the plan will be shaped, the communication executed, and issues tackled. It is important to know and acknowledge before applying, that is recommended that the mentee is responsible to drive the program and it is HIS/HER responsibility to learn and develop.
