The Canadian Mentoring Service (CMS)
CENE members are volunteers who are enthusiastic about providing quality mentoring services to Canada's most promising entrepreneurs.
Mission Statement
The Canadian Mentoring Service members are passionate about leveraging their collective experience, expertise and relationships to help mentor and grow a new generation of successful Canadian-led companies.
Mentors of the Canadian Mentoring Service (CMS) are recruited with the intent of providing mentoring and advice to entrepreneurs who are the clients of the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA@Boston) program which is managed by the Government of Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service and the Consulate General of Canada in Boston.
CMS Mentors are trained in the CMS team mentoring program. We welcome mentors to stay with the program for as long as they want to engage; but the expectation is that mentors will make a commitment for two years.
