Apprentice Mentoring Workshop

Duration: 1 day

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Mentoring is an important part of an apprenticeship and can provide much needed additional support to an apprentice, helping them understand their role in the organisation, develop their career path, and provide a listening ear if they're facing any problems and challenges.

Mentoring helps people to learn and develop.

The purpose of this workshop is to support employers to enhance the apprenticeship experience and obtain the improved outcomes and performance.   

Assigning a workplace mentor /coach is a powerful tool which can ensure your apprentice settles into their role quickly and thrives in the workplace.

As a mentor or someone responsible for apprentices, is this an area of expertise that you would like to enhance your knowledge and skills in?

This is proving to be an interactive and interesting workshop with a great opportunity to share experiences and best practice with other employers.
