When implementing a Mentoring Process within an organization, it is very important to have a clearly defined “Role Profile” of what is expected of an individual if he/she desires to be a Mentor. It is also important to indicate within that profile, the specific skills/competencies that are required. Mentors will be obtained from your organization for the programme. The mentoring session will run for the duration of the Graduate Development Programme – with one session a month for each participant.
The Mentorship programme entails three components:
- Mentoring workshop. This one day workshop will:
- Explaining the mentor’s responsibilities and rules of ethical conduct.
