Ellen Ensher reviews sample topics for protégés typically included in training programs such as goal setting, roles and responsibilities, communication skills, and reciprocity. She also discusses the importance of mentoring relational challenges.
- I got my start in Human Resources as a trainer.…So my favorite part of designing a mentoring program…is the training.…I recommend that you train proteges…at the beginning of the program,…possibly at the midway point and provide coaching…throughout the program.…I'm going to walk you through…a sample curriculum for training your proteges.…First, before you train anyone…assess what your proteges need and want to know.…Second, write learning objectives.…
I recommend a two to three hour…training session for proteges…with three to five learning objectives.…Here are some examples from my past classes:…Understand definition, roles and expectations…of a mentoring relationship.…Write smart goals for your career…and create an agenda for a discussion…with your mentor.…Develop an action learning project…to work on with your mentor.…Third, use this four-step model…to actually design your training workshop.…
Prepare, present, practice, conclude.…In the prepare step, share your overall agenda,…learning objectives, ground rules…and do something fun to set the tone…
