YBR Workshop in Moscow

On June 5, a workshop titled “Mentor: A Path to Success” was held within the framework of the Youth Business Russia Programme in Moscow. The workshop was attended by young entrepreneurs planning to draw on their ideas or interesting projects for starting a business.

The training was provided by Boris Tkachenko, Head of IBLF Branch Office in Russia, Manager of Youth Business Russia Programme.

Mr. Tkachenko told the young people about the international and Russian practices of business mentorship. The workshop participants learned what distinguishes mentors from business consultants and business angels, how a mentor can help in running a business, and how young entrepreneurs should communicate and cooperate with mentors.

The attendees were informed that the Youth Business Russia Programme in Moscow could provide them with a mentor from among successful entrepreneurs who would support them in developing or setting up their own business and, in addition, they would be offered training, consulting and financial backing to assist them in developing flourishing businesses.
