What is Zenith Mentorship
The Zenith Mentorship Program helps people with immigrant and minority backgrounds in Norway to find relevant employment or scale-up their existing businesses via one-on-one primary and secondary mentorship, peer learning, professional development workshops and events.
Through mentorship, job seekers and future entrepreneurs can be encouraged and empowered to identify and achieve their career goals, while increasing their confidence and gaining a broader business and personal perspectives.

Together, we can foster diversity and inclusion within Norwegian workspaces, help people get their dream jobs, and fight `brain waste` in Norway.
