About CEED
At CEED, our mission is to foster successful and innovative businesses that contribute to a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nova Scotia. Through cutting-edge education and tailored support, we empower entrepreneurs to realize their full potential within a vibrant community.
About Elevate Mentorship
The CEED Elevate Mentorship Program is designed to elevate and empower entrepreneurs through dynamic, mentor-mentee relationships in a supportive environment. It fosters peer-to-peer learning, meaningful dialogue, and the ability to navigate challenges with confidence.
Elevate offers a unique opportunity for both mentors and mentees to form lasting connections, exchange ideas, and discover new perspectives. Drawing on CEED’s extensive experience in advancing entrepreneurship, we provide the tools and training to help you build a strong foundation for your mentorship journey.
About The Mentees
Mentees in the Elevate Mentorship Program are participants or recent graduates of CEED’s educational and financial programs, designed to transform aspiring entrepreneurs into successful business owners. Throughout their entrepreneurial journey, the expertise and guidance of mentors are crucial in helping them overcome challenges, grow their businesses, and thrive in a competitive market.
About The Mentors
Our Elevate Mentors bring a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, business development, and self-employment. With strong facilitation skills and active listening, they guide mentees without prescribing solutions, encouraging them to discover their own path to success. Our mentors are also well-connected, using their professional networks and industry expertise to support mentees in achieving their goals.
The Process
Upon registering for the CEED Elevate Mentorship Program through EnPoint, you will be accepted into the program and matched with a mentor or mentee. A series of milestones will guide your progress, ensuring a structured and rewarding mentorship experience. Before your first meeting, you’ll complete Mindframe Connect training to equip you with the skills needed for a successful and impactful relationship.
The Impact
Mentorship is an invaluable resource. It provides mentees with the confidence, skills, and networks they need to succeed. By sharing their knowledge and experience, mentors not only guide individual entrepreneurs but also contribute to the growth and vitality of the entire CEED community.
