Elevate Mentorship

What is an Elevate Mentorship?

 

The ACANEA Elevate Mentor Relationship Program empowers and elevates entrepreneurs by building a dynamic relationship in a safe space for peer-to-peer learning, dialogue, and challenge.  ACANEA is committed to empowering people and helping them reach their full potential. We believe that the mentee / mentor relationship is one of the most powerful ways to elevate entrepreneurs and strengthen the economy.


Elevate will be a unique opportunity for mentors and mentees alike to develop ongoing relationships and connections to community through learning and dialogue and discovering new challenges. The power in Elevate is training…ACANEA will leverage our years of experience and best practise in advancing entrepreneurship across Alberta and provide both mentors and mentees with a foundation from which they can build their relationships. ACANEA believes that the need for mentorship is more important than ever. Mentors who have faced adversity and challenges are able to share that knowledge and provide guidance to those who need it the most. As a result, mentees will be able to tap into an Albertan community of support and potentially discover new partnerships or even grow to become mentors and give back through local mentorship.

 

ACANEA is currently looking to continue to bring these individuals together to grow a support network for people starting a business in Alberta. If you’re a successful business owner in Alberta, we’d love for you to join our network.
