Workshops for
Mentees

Workshop Overview

The goal of the workshop, in combination with the prerequisite online training, is to equip
mentees with the basic knowledge, skills and tools they need to achieve a productive learning alliance with a mentor, and to avoid the common pitfalls and obstacles that untrained mentees face.

Mentees are asked to complete a 90 minute online training course prior, to allow time for
discussion of the content and principles in the workshop.

The online course structure combines engaging instruction, mentoring demonstrations, interviews with experienced mentors and mentees, reading materials, tools and downloadable resources.

The workshop is highly interactive, with breakout room discussion and exercises.

Topics Covered

• Mentee skills self-assessment
• The role of a mentee
• Key styles, skills, and approach of successful mentees
• How to establish purpose and goals for mentoring (exercise)
• What makes a productive mentoring relationship
• What can go wrong in mentoring and how to avoid it

1. Identify what they’d like to achieve from their mentoring relationship

3. Work with their mentor to measure and track their progress

Topics Covered

• Why mentees need a mentoring purpose
• Their role and the mentor’s role in goal setting
