FAQs

What are Parcours croissance?

It is initiatives offered by the École des entrepreneurs du Québec (EEQ) to support female entrepreneurs across Quebec who are grappling with the repercussions of the COVID-19 crisis. They are aimed at women who already have a product or service on the market, whose business was growing or who were looking to export before the onset of the pandemic, and who would benefit from a helping hand in addressing the situation.

Is this offer transferable to a third party?

Free mentoring services are available exclusively to entrepreneurs who are registered with the Parcours croissance and cannot be transferred to another partner or employee.

 

What is the cutoff date for signing up?

You have three months after the end of the Parcours croissance program to sign up. After this date, if you still wish to receive free mentoring services, please contact the Parcours croissance coordinator at EEQ.

Why should I sign up for the Réseau Mentorat entrepreneurship mentoring program?

Mentoring is a great way to challenge your thinking, boost your motivation, guide you as move forward, make you feel like someone is there to listen and support you, inspire you to new levels of achievement, and encourage you to adopt a more agile approach to business. In Quebec, more than 2,000 entrepreneurs are currently teamed up with one of 1,150 Réseau Mentorat mentors through 55+ points of service.

Difference between mentoring, coaching and consulting

At Réseau Mentorat, the mentor-mentee relationship is a fundamentally human relationship between two business leaders. Mentors leverage their experience and insight to help mentored entrepreneurs develop their business skills and enhance their professional well-being. In contrast, coaching and consulting are both compensated activities that are based on a professional relationship, with the deliverable being the successful attainment of predefined goals and the resolution of identified problems.

The type of mentoring services offered through Réseau Mentorat

Réseau Mentorat’s mentors are TRAINED VOLUNTEERS. Their goal is to work with the HUMAN behind the BUSINESS. They draw on their EXPERIENCE, their INSIGHT and their ANALYTICAL STRENGTHS to support business owners in their efforts to improve their ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS and their PROFESSIONAL WELL-BEING.
