The Women in Business Mentor program is accepting applications from female business owners in New South Wales who are interested in participating in the 2010 mentoring program.

The Women in Business Mentor program is tailored for small business owners or operators who draw most of their income from a business, and are committed to growing the business and achieving commercial success.

The program links up and coming women business owners with experienced business people. Through cooperative learning, mentoring and practical sessions participants work to improve their business skills and have their confidence boosted. Networking is also a key component of the program.

The Women in Business Mentor program runs for 45 hours over six months, including introductory briefing sessions.

The program’s four components include:

– Business skills workshops (18 hours)
– Business forums (five hours)
– Networking event (two hours)
– One-on-one mentoring meetings (20 hours).

The business skills workshops cover business development planning, financial management and marketing and strategic selling. At the end of the workshop program, participants will have developed an appropriate business plan, which covers the goals and objectives of the business.

Business forums include a mini expo and a business panel discussion that give participants a chance to share information and explore specific aspects of running
a business.

Potential participants in this program must submit their enrolments as soon as possible as places are strictly limited and are filling up fast.
