Steps to become an EI-ntrepreneur:
Step 1: Fill out and submit the application form.
Step 2: A member of the SEMP Entrepreneur Program department will review your application and schedule a meeting. During this meeting, we'll discuss your interest in employing individuals with disabilities and answer any questions you may have.
Step 3: Complete the necessary paperwork, including background checks, fingerprinting, and attendance at EIHAB's mandatory entrepreneur training certifications.
Step 4: Once training and all background checks are completed, you'll be prepared to start mentoring individuals either in-person or virtually. If mentoring in-person, you'll be connected with suitable candidates and a supervisor to establish a start date and schedule. If mentoring virtually, you can begin setting up your remote working arrangements.
Step 5: Following your initial experience as an EI-ntrepreneur mentor, we will check in with you and the individual to evaluate progress.
We aim to ensure that your experience as a mentor is successful and rewarding for you, your team, and the individuals we support. If the initial employment arrangement isn't the right fit, we'll work with you to find alternative opportunities that better align with your organization's needs and goals.
