SACC San Diego's Mentorship Program
Through its Mentorship Program, The Chamber of Commerce links aspiring entrepreneurs and knowledgeable professionals.
Mentees get a chance to learn from a professional who has extensive experience in their particular field of expertise. A mentor can teach the mentee how to cope with challenges in the work place, how to make the most out of their careers, as well as realizing business ideas and goals. The relationship benefits both parties in such areas such as personal growth, career development, lifestyle enhancement, goal achievement and other fields of interest agreed upon by the mentor and mentee.
The relationship will primarily focus on interpersonal support, career guidance, exchange of industry, knowledge and experience, sharing of wisdom, coaching and role modeling.
