What to Expect from the Program
When participating in ‘Mentor it Forward’ mentoring program, individuals can expect a structured framework that outlines goals, expectations, and a timeline for the mentorship. Regular meetings or interactions will take place, where the mentor and mentee discuss progress, set objectives, and exchange knowledge. Mentees should anticipate receiving personalised guidance, constructive feedback, and practical advice from their mentors. They can also expect opportunities for networking, skill-building, and self-reflection. Building a rapport, maintaining open communication, and committing time and effort is key to a successful mentoring experience.

It is important to understand that ‘Mentor it Forward’ Program is not the same as training. Your mentor is not there to tell you what to do or give explicit directions. Instead, their role is to empower you, offer valuable insights, share knowledge, and help you unlock your full potential.
Every mentee will take the lead by doing the following:
-
Begin every meeting with your mentor by setting the agenda for the discussion.
-
Establish measurable goals to be used as benchmarks for tracking progress.
-
Ensure that you are fully prepared for each meeting and arrive punctually.
-
Always ask for feedback so that you can learn and improve.
-
Recognise and appreciate the time and support provided by your mentor.
-
Set aside dedicated time to seek your Mentor's insights and guidance for the relationship.
“We make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give”
