Somerset Mentoring - Mentee Recruitment Help Please!

Released On 15th Mar 2023

Somerset County Council has launched the Somerset Mentoring Programme.

Our aim is to link business leaders as mentors to businesses, charities and social enterprises in Somerset who want to realise their full potential.

We have successfully recruited 22 mentors who will complete their mentor training by the end of March. These mentors have extensive business experience, from an ex-CEO of a Fortune 20 company to a business owner who supplies over 200 trade clients with coffee roasted in Somerset!

Whether a mentee owns a business or is in a senior management role, we work with the mentee to identify a match according to their aspirations, needs and personality.

A mentor will be selected from our pool of skilled executive and senior business leaders across the county, who are committed to supporting the resilience and growth of Somerset business. The mentor will provide 1:1 confidential support, acting as a trusted ally and sounding board, sharing knowledge and providing the mentor with the confidence to explore new ideas and to address opportunities or challenges.

We are now looking for mentees who are looking to grow their businesses. We welcome any size of business that is not a new start-up. The mentoring will be free to those businesses that qualify and we will start our service in April.
