The Business Mentorship Institute (BMI) is a not-for-profit, province-wide organization that opened its Saskatoon office in May of 2006. Economic and business development organizations in Saskatchewan have since partnered with BMI to provide mentorship matching services to their stakeholders. BMI is a resource to its partners whether they are geographically community-based, industry-based, or serve a special interest group.
Mentorship stimulates economic growth. Through BMI, development organizations can further benefit the entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan and the community in general.
Together, members of the BMI network are building a culture of mentorship. Partner organizations supported by BMI recruit mentors and protégés into locally run programs that offer business-to-business mentoring opportunities. BMI supports these programs with training, information resources, support with partnership planning, networking opportunities, and promotional materials.
