Mentoring Training

No matter what your organization needs or what kind of mentoring program you would like to implement, making sure that everyone involved is fully prepared for the program is vital.

You would like program administrators to understand their roles in advising and leading program participants, for mentors to understand how to communicate with and motivate mentees, and for mentees to be prepared to take full advantage of the mentoring partnership and program in advancing their skills and careers.

At Insala, our mentoring experts provide training for mentors, mentees and administrators alike, so that everyone involved can get the most out of the mentoring program.

Contact us today to learn more about our mentoring training programs and other mentoring solutions.

Features

• Administrator Training: Before the program begins and the mentor-mentee pairs begin to interact, we train mentoring program administrators to lead and facilitate a successful initiative. We help them fully understand their responsibilities, what they themselves gain from coordinating the program and supervising program participants, and what the mentors and mentees should gain from participating in the program.
• Mentor Training: The goal of the mentor training is to prepare the mentors for the role that they will play in the mentoring program and the mentoring partnership. In addition, we address any questions or concerns the mentors may have, so that they are fully prepared to execute their roles.
• Mentee Training: The goal of the mentee training is to prepare the mentees for the role that they will play in the mentoring program and the mentoring partnership. We help designated mentees create custom mentoring learning plans, which will serve as the basis of interaction between each mentor and mentee pair, and drive the development of each mentoring partnership. In addition, we address any questions or concerns the mentees may have, so that they are fully prepared to achieve each step in their development.
• Manager/Supervisor Training: Managers and Supervisors play a key role in ensuring the success (or failure) or the mentoring partnership. The goal of this training is to ensure that they understand their role and to determine if there are any issues or concerns they have about the program, the Mentor-Mentee partnership or the concept of mentoring overall.
