Mentoring
What's on Offer and Method of Approach
When you undertake one of our training courses or awards, we will offer you 1:1 support throughout the programme, with a dedicated, skilled mentor. Mentoring will be delivered in three key stages to you at the beginning, during and at the end of the course, which equates to around 3 hours of support broken down as follows:
Initial Interview Stage ( Action Planning)
Interim stage (Reflective Practice)
Final/Exit Interview (Outcomes, Progression & Referral)
Mentors use a range of tools and resources to enable the support offered will provide measurable outcomes and assist in monitoring and evaluating the project. The resources & tools implemented are reviewed at monthly team meetings, subject to ongoing quality standards and legislations. Where there arises a need to refer learners onto other organisations to further develop their skills, we will endeavour to work strategically with relevant organisations and partners.
