Course Purpose
This workshop provides background theory and practical steps to implementing formal mentoring programs: marketing, participant orientation, matching partners, training, evaluation, and reporting. It is essential to any organization that is considering a formal mentoring program.
Background
For centuries, mentors have offered valuable advancement strategies and protection at critical points in a person’s career development. However, the traditional, good-old-boy mentoring approach has changed. Today’s mentors support rather than direct—and stretch rather than protect. The traditional approach made sense several decades ago when most organizations were structured as hierarchies and valued stability, seniority and status quo.
Today’s work environment demands a different approach. Rather than smooth the way to advancement, today’s mentors, empower employees to respond effectively in the context of ongoing events. Although having access to a mentor does not guarantee advancement, having the wise counsel and advice of an experienced colleague can help employees move ahead, learn how to handle various situations and avoid some of the pitfalls that can derail a career or delay a promotion.
This course is very interactive with minimum of lecture. Emphasis is placed on industry standards for adult learning methods.
Target Audience
All training and leadership professionals responsible for Human Capital initiatives.
