Foreword:

• This Implementing Mentoring Program training course from PD Training will aid mentees and mentors to fully understand the idea and process of mentoring. The course teaches information about the roles, responsibilities, goals and support structure of the mentoring procedure. Furthermore, it also explains the process of matching and provides participants the characteristics to consider in a mentee or mentor.
• Mentoring is rapidly becoming recognized worldwide as a highly effective people development process. Managers are often time poor and see employee interaction as a distraction. Although the introduction of formal mentoring programs in the workplace is relatively new, the process of more experienced colleagues offering support, advice and assistance to younger and less experienced group members has a long history.
• This course will help you capture the benefits of these informal support networks and outline what is needed and to design, implement and adapt a successful mentoring program.
• This course is based on the work of Kathy Lacy, in her book "Making Mentoring Happen: A simple and effective guide to implementing a successful mentoring program".
