Workshops for Mentors and Mentees
To create great mutual learning relationships that provide value to the participants as well as to the organisation, both mentors and mentees need to have the same understanding of mentoring and access to the same toolbox. We offer standard and tailormade workshops, online or classroom based, separate or together, to transfer knowledge and train skills for effective mentoring.
All our workshops for mentors and mentees are tailored to the objectives of the organisation and the purpose set out in collaboration with the programme manager.
Typical topics for workshops during the mentoring programme are:
- Career development, career navigation and career paths.
- Networking - building, maintaining, and expanding networks.
- Stakeholder management.
- Navigating - e.g. leading others, leading the team.
- Talent development - developing yourself and developing others.
