Mentorship
Please note, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, our first cohort will be in a virtual format.
About the Program
Our program will empower those that build the future.
The program includes:
- At least three hours of individual mentorship over three months
- Group networking and education opportunities
You will be partnered with a regional business leader. We will do our best to match you with a mentor that exemplifies the support you request. Mentorship is open to anyone – TechUnited members and nonmembers, early career through late career, founders and employees.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
