Tourism Business Mentorship Program Guidelines

The Tourism Business Mentorship Program provides opportunities and
resources for interested NWT tourism operators (Mentees) to learn from and
benefit from experienced Volunteer Advisors (Mentors).

Learning from a Mentor can be an important element in a tourism operator’s success. Mentors share their expertise and knowledge and provide support and encouragement to help entrepreneurs remain focused on what is important for the success of their business.

Through the Business Mentorship Program, tourism operators who are less experienced can gain valuable skills in business, leadership and networking to help maximize their potential and become successful and profitable independent tourism operators.

The mentoring process may involve the Mentor visiting the Mentee’s place of business, or the Mentor providing support from a distance via internet or phone.
