Opportunity: Apply to become either a mentee or mentor in the Greenville Chamber’s mentorship program for business professionals.
Organization: Greenville Chamber
Commitment: Nine months.
Ideal for: Young business professionals seeking mentorship and feedback from experienced businesspeople, as well as business owners and professional experts with a desire to guide and foster the next generation of business professionals.
What it’s like: Meeting with and discussing business goals and strategies over a nine-month period with a matched mentor or menthe.
Why you’re needed: Nothing beats experience, and the business world is no exception. Many young professionals are graduating with degrees in business or related fields, plunging headstrong and determined into the business world, lacking the firsthand personal experience to face the fray ahead of them. The advice and guidance from a seasoned business professional is invaluable. The opportunity for young professionals to gain insight into the business world and receive feedback while building relationships is not something to pass up.
In their own words: “We want to be a resource for business success for our small business community, and this is one way we could do that,” said John Kimbrell, executive vice president of the Greenville Chamber.
