What is the RPS Mentoring Programme?
This programme is designed to enable new and existing mentors enhance their mentoring skills and confidence to become a more effective mentor and also encourage mentees to understand the benefits of becoming a mentor.
By the end of this programme, mentors will have access to an array of tools, ideas and resources and an understanding of specific skills that they can use in their mentoring relationships, for a variety of different circumstances, enabling them to become a more confident and effective mentor.
