Mentor program
Tekna Self-Employed has started a mentor program for members where you can meet a fellow Tekna member who has a lot of experience from starting and running their own company. You’ll get practical, hands-on advice from your mentor. If you’re interested, please contact our head office, and we’ll put you in touch with someone. Our mentors volunteer their services (and there’s no charge to you as a Tekna member). They also have their own business to run, so you’ll have to agree on how best to set up your meetings in a way that works for both of you.
