Mentor Workshop February 2015

Who is it for?

Individuals who wish to mentor for the first time and will also be useful for individuals who have previously undertaken formal mentoring – in other words mentoring that has:

• Been on a regular basis not an ‘ad hoc’ relationship
• Lasted over a period of time
• Had an element of ‘contracting’

But have not mentored for many years nor had any structured training as part of a mentoring scheme in the past.

• Confidently deliver mentee support
• Refresh their understanding of the difference between a mentoring and coaching relationship
• Explain the mentoring relationship and the roles and responsibilities involved
