Based on our network, we choose carefully the mentors as we want them to truly maximize the potential of the teams(mentees).

Therefore, we match the team’s needs to one of the mentors in our network and share his profile with theirs, so both can evaluate if their requirements meet.

Depending on the team’s needs, PSPPoC mentorship lasts at least 12 months, during which the team and Mentor meet face-to-face or virtually for as much the team and mentor needs to work toward setting and realizing personalized, measurable and attainable goals. At that point, Mentees are those who will mainly drive the relationship with Mentor.  

Specifically, our experienced Mentors will share their skillset, knowledge and expertise and provide meaningful connections that will impact the community and influence the teams for their subsequent professional development. We guarantee that in conjunction with a mentor, the team at any other stage will be prepared for making a strong application.

PSPPoC mentoring program is a very powerful tool that can help you reach your professional potential because of the high level leadership and empowerment it provides.

A mentor will help a mentee believe in his/her capabilities as a person. Because of this, the self-confidence of the mentee will be improved and they will be more apt to accept more challenges in the future. As mentor to our program you would also enable the mentee to explore new ideas so that you can achieve a higher level of self-assurance in yourself and explore even greater success.

Within the PSPPoC program, the expectations from your role as mentor, are mainly to spend quality time with your mentee.

Specifically, the benefits for both mentors and mentees:

• The teams/startups to grow and develop future workforce
• Participate in business functions and events
• Improve your leadership and management skills
