Please join us for the launch of Youth Business International's research report, 'Exploring the impact of voluntary business mentoring on young entrepreneurs'.

While many organisations recognise the value of voluntary business mentoring for young entrepreneurs, there has been little evidence about its impact and best practices in designing, implementing and managing a successful mentoring support programme. 

Youth Business International and Middlesex University with support from our partner, Accenture have just concluded a two-year study on the impact mentoring can have on young entrepreneurs around the world. We are now delighted to share our ground-breaking results and demonstrate how having a robust mentoring programme can help a greater number of youth realise their entrepreneurial potential.
