I am looking for a local entrepreneur, someone currently involved in business, or a retired person with business experience to work with a group of sixth form students who will be participating in the Young Enterprise Company Programme from Sept 23.
The role of the business mentor is to offer guidance in establishing the business, selling shares, creating a product, marketing and keeping business records.
The students will also attend trade fairs and presentation events and may need support planning for these occasions. The time commitment is one hour per week on site at Cotham School- North Bristol Post 16 Centre. A Business teacher from the Social Sciences Department will also work alongside the students and liaise with the mentor. Training is available from YE.
A mentor from our BAME communities would be especially welcome to reflect our diverse community. However knowledge of the business world, a desire to inspire our young entrepreneurs, and a positive and encouraging outlook are the most important qualities!
