Stage 2 is a 4-month mentoring partnership with a local business owner/mentor. This will begin 10/10/2026 through 2/13/2027.
After completion of Stage 1, the delegate is assigned a mentor who will spend approximately 8-12 hours helping the entrepreneur with any of the “80 Steps” they can assist them with.
Calls and one-on-one meetings are scheduled between the mentor and mentee.
M2M staff will support both mentors and delegates throughout Stage 2.
Stage 2 mentoring is a dynamic, supportive process designed for optimal success for both delegates and mentors to see continued growth and business development.
After completion of Stage 2, delegates will be given an opportunity to work with student consultants.
Stage 3 is a 12-week student consulting partnership where local college student consultants are paired with the delegates to continue to support their business development.
There are several deliverables that can be expected through this unique consulting opportunity.
