VMS is a free, confidential mentorship program for the Arts & Sciences community. Our goal is to educate entrepreneurs by helping them create and sustain for-profit and non-profit ventures in the real world.
Eligibility:
- VMS serves current undergraduate students, graduate students, alumni, staff and faculty from the Faculty of Arts & Science who have a leadership role in a venture.
- While we mentor the entire venture team, our actual client is the founding entrepreneur with an Arts & Sciences-affiliation. We expect that he or she will remain an active and central participant in all mentoring activities.
- Participants must be local to the Greater Toronto area.
- Entrepreneurs must commit to an on-going relationship with VMS.
- Expect to send updates on your venture and meet with your mentors on a regular basis.
Application Process:
- Applications and enrollment is on a rolling basis
- To apply, complete and submit the online application form found here.
Enrolment:
- If accepted, you will receive an enrollment package by e-mail. The enrollment package materials describe the rules and procedures of VMS. There is also a required acknowledgement and release form for you to sign.
- By enrolling, you acknowledge that the VMS mentors are working with you on a volunteer basis and that the Centre for Entrepreneurship incurs no liability in the process.
- Once you have reviewed that material and returned your signed waiver of liability, staff will work with you to schedule your first mentoring session.
