How do I access the Mentorship support on the AEI?

The Mentorship support is only for our students and alumni who are within the growing your business category. To access this support, you will need to firstly select the mentor you wish to be mentored among the list of our mentors and click on the apply button that can be found on the profile of your chosen mentor. We will then assess the availability of the chosen mentor and proceed with a chemistry match where you will meet your new mentor and discuss how you would like to meet and the support you need.

How does the mentorship programme work?

Our mentorship program is structured in a very simple format; mentees at the growing your business stage log onto our platform, look at the catalogue of mentors we have under different categories and apply to be mentees. The operations team then screen this application to ensure that the interest between mentors and mentees match (for the sole purpose of getting the best out of the relationship) and then the connection is made.

What are the different categories/levels of the AEI?

Regardless of where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, AEI offers tailored support and progression opportunities:
