Intended for:
These Mentor Training course materials have been designed to provide advice, support and guidance to anyone that may be taking on the role of mentor. Therefore, the mentor training course is aimed at anyone who has been asked to take up the role of mentor or may be asked as part of their working role.
Training course contents:
Mentoring is a learning support mechanism where an experienced person provides guidance, knowledge and advice to someone who is in development or has less experience in a given topic or function.
The role of mentor is a very important one and whether the relationship is formal or informal, the fact is that a good mentor can be instrumental in the development of not only a mentee’s skills and knowledge, but also their behaviour, attitude and social outlook.
