* Mentoring Programmes
We have significant experience in the implementation of mentoring programmes and can assist you in a number of ways...
You may be thinking of creating a mentoring programme and need support in giving people the skills they need to be excellent mentors?
You may already have a programme in place, but realise that your designated mentors could use some tools and techniques to help clarify their additional roles?
You may not even have a formal mentoring programme but you still have people who are being asked to perform the role of mentors or simply find themselves in that role before they realise it"s happened!
These are all good reasons to give your chosen mentors additional guidance, encouragement and mentor training to provide them with the skills to back them up while working with their mentees.
