PRIME business club

 Could you be a PRIME online mentor?

Have you already experienced the challenge of setting up your own business? Would you be prepared to share your experience as a PRIME mentor?

Mentoring online can be the perfect way to share your hard earned wisdom with those who can benefit from your experience and knowledge, all in a supportive, safe and secure online environment.

PRIME mentors assist people in the early stages of starting a new business. The emphasis is on being a sounding board and talking through and clarifying options rather than giving business advice.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering with the UKs top mentoring website please get in contact with Harri Harrison, PRIME Mentoring Manager, harri.harrison@ace.org.uk

We are currently actively seeking more volunteer business mentors for the Black Country in the Midlands and Doncaster and Sheffield in Yorkshire. And we expect to be recruiting more mentors elsewhere at the beginning of 2009.

PRIME mentors assist people in the early stages of starting a new business. The emphasis is on being a sounding board and talking through and clarifying options rather than giving business advice.

On our existing schemes (the Black Country, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland) mentors have all been experienced business people giving a few hours a month of their time on a voluntary basis. All mentors receive some training on the counselling approach we use, and work with a PRIME mentor co-ordinator.

In the New Year we expect to start more mentoring schemes in England, but are not yet sure of the exact locations. But if you are interested please drop us a line at prime@ace.org.uk
