Apprentice Mentoring Workshop

Course overview

This workshop is only available to those organisations who have recruited a PETA apprentice.

Apprentices really do make a difference to business, making the organisation more effective, productive and competitive by addressing your skills gaps directly. An Apprentice is also a member of your workforce and a part of your most important and expensive asset. It is, therefore, vital that your Apprentice is supported right from the start and given ample opportunity to fully develop their skills in order for you to see a notable return on your investment. Providing a mentor, with the right skills and knowledge, to provide this support will ensure this happens.

This workshop is aimed at individuals who have responsibility for supporting a PETA apprentice throughout their apprenticeship. Whether the individual is new to mentoring or would like to attend as a refresher, this workshop is essential.
