Summary
Practera’s 1:1 Mentoring Program is a learning program that connects mentees and mentors on a meaningful mentoring journey.
The generic structure of this mentoring program means that it is suitable for numerous mentoring programs, styles and settings. This Program has 11 feedback loops and can be used over a range of durations; however, we recommend using the program over a min. 6 month period to allow time for meetings, reflection and actioning goals in real-life.
Mentees set goals and review their progress, supported by their mentor and in-built learning content. The goal setting and refinement framework used in the program is called GROW - Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward.
The users of the Mentoring 1:1 program include:
- one or multiple Students/Mentees (app)
- one or multiple Mentors (app); and
- a Program Coordinator (coordinator interface)
