Mentors
Staff coach students in the development of new business plans, as well as analysis and revision of completed plans. JCEL partners with alumni and local organizations to provide assistance with business issues, including business planning, financials and marketing.
Entrepreneurs also have access to local media contacts and service providers (such as attorneys, accounts, and other business support professionals).
Mentors, or seasoned entrepreneurs with a variety of business experiences, volunteer to work with students. These individuals have a real world appreciation of the problems that businesses face and the experience to assist new entrepreneurs in avoiding or overcoming obstacles to future development. Mentors are matched to address individual needs.
