About this event
Whether you are interested in building upon previous mentoring skills or are new to mentoring and looking for some insight to get you started, this short course is open to all and will equip you with the tools and knowledge to become a successful mentor.
Mentorship programmes have become increasingly popular, particularly with regards to improving Diversity & Inclusion initiatives within organisations. However, traditional models of mentorship may no longer be sufficient for addressing the needs of mentees (and mentors) in the current social, political, and economic climate. This short course will cover the fundamentals of becoming an efficient and inclusive mentor.
Over the course of these two workshops, you will learn:
- The benefits of being a mentor
- Mentoring best practices
- Informal mentoring tips and tools on how to get started
This course is being run by Equate Scotland in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University. It will be delivered online (Teams or Zoom) and the link to access the course will be communicated before the course starts, after the registrations have taken place.
