The CSE Mentorship (CM) program
The CSE Mentorship (CM) program is designed for faculty, staff, students, and other scholars who are interested in entrepreneurship professional development or internship opportunities with peers and mentors, not in further degree-related academic study.
CSE Mentoring Program
We believe that mentoring contributes towards achieving the following outcomes:
- Orientation to CSE/ Induction into a new job and culture / Understanding of formal and informal structures.
- Enabling professional and personal networks to be developed / Finding collegiality and community / Assistance in identifying sources of support
- Assisting with career advancement, self-development and continuous professional development.
- Helping to cope with transitions such as moving into a new job or role.

Features of the CM Program
Mentorship provides a unique opportunity for the mentee to gain valuable insights and knowledge from expert faculty who has already been through the ups and downs of starting and growing a business.
A volunteer faculty or staff mentor from within the CSE community works with the CSE participant.The mentor’s duty is to facilitate the participant’s academic and/or professional activities while at CSE; for example:
- To serve as an adviser and key contact person for the participant
- To provide guidance and/or engage in collaborative or directed research
- To serve as an interface with the rest of the Brock community
- To create opportunities for interaction with academics and professionals in the participant’s area of interest, and to engage the participant in meaningful professional activity
- To provide unobtrusive opportunities for the participant to observe and interact with classes and seminars (academic) or other administrative meetings
Participants are responsible for covering their own expenses for travel, accommodations, and any ancillary requirements (visa fees, health insurance coverage, etc.).
In most cases, participants have been awarded funding by their home governments or institutions for international travel, accommodation, and living costs.

- A formal letter of invitation to selected participants, which may be used for visa purposes;
