CALDERDALE Council is searching for more people to mentor new and growing businesses in the borough.
More than 220 individuals and companies have been involved in Calderdale's programme as mentors and mentees since it started in 2011, and a big difference has been made to local businesses.
Mentors and mentees are asked to commit to at least one meeting per month for a minimum of a year.
The Council runs an induction to identify their skills, needs and working styles, to make the best possible matches.
Ongoing support and regular networking events are also available.
Through a training programme, mentors can work towards a Level 3 accreditation with the Institute of Leadership and Management.
It is funded through Calderdale Council’s economic task force and the European Regional Development Fund.
For more on the scheme, email gemma.beckwith@calderdale.gov.uk / karen.bell@calderdale.gov.uk or call 01422 392362.
