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:

  1. Mentoring workshop. This one day workshop will:
    • Explaining the mentor’s responsibilities and rules of ethical conduct.
    • Reviewing some of the key skills and tools that the mentors can use during the sessions.
    • Providing mentors with an overall pathway to follow in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the mentoring sessions.
  2. Assigning Mentors from your organization with the mentees.
