HIGH-TECH or HIGH-TOUCH? Getting the Balance Right for your Mentoring Programme
Mentoring is happening everywhere. It is a proven initiative that delivers results across employability and volunteering engagement. The challenge is that such programmes are often labour intensive and typically only benefit a tiny fraction of your community. The very best programmes are run by dedicated professionals, carefully hand-picking matches and personally stewarding relationships. Attempts to scale-up often compromise the special human ingredient that makes these programmes succeed. Join Daniel as he comprehensively sets out the various models you have for a mentoring programme and how to choose the right path for your institution. Daniel will also share the results of Aluminati’s large-scale research paper on the effect of mentoring on employability and introduce an innovative new 'best of both' solution developed by Aluminati that combines high-tech AND high-touch
