Autoocupació creates 296 mentoring relationships in 2020

January 21, 2021

2020 has been a key year for Autoocupació’s mentoring service: in addition to the traditional service for young entrepreneurs, the Foundation has launched a new volunteer program, the SOS Mentoring, to help entrepreneurs cope with the situation arising from the health emergency caused by COVID-19.

Thus, during 2020, 296 new mentoring relationships were established between entrepreneurs and mentors, thereby mentoring a total of 296 businesses and almost 400 entrepreneurs or small businesses.

Finally, throughout the year, we have had more than 500 active mentors, who have voluntarily helped and supported entrepreneurs.

If you also need help to overcome the Covid-19 crisis or would like to help small business owners move forward, you can find all the information about our mentoring service here or contact us at 934908860 or mentoring@autoocupacio.org.
