Mentorship program

To support our young professionals and our experienced and knowledgeable members

 

Through the Mentorship Program, SBC links 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. 

Mentees, an SBC Member, will get the chance to learn from professionals who have extensive experience in their particular field of expertise. Get professional support with resumes, tips on how to cope with challenges in the workplace, how to make the most out of the career, as well as realising business ideas and goals will also be part of the framework. (Maximum 5 applicants per company, more applicants are subject to availability).
Price for Mentees: AED 150 incl VAT

Mentors an SBC Member, will surely be amazed with new ideas and fresh ways of thinking, insights of potential recruits and, perhaps most importantly, the joy of seeing a mentee nourish, grow and succeed (priority to Corporate and Professional Members). 

The Mentorship Program will benefit both parties in the fields of interest agreed upon by the mentor and the mentee and can be done in person or online. The program is done in collaboration with the other Nordic Business Councils in the UAE.
