Why this apprenticeship?
Mentoring takes place in all parts of the Education and Training Sector and staff-development contexts. Within the Learning Mentor apprenticeship, you could be supporting learners of all ages and all levels to develop within a new work role. These learners may be apprentices themselves, trainees or new recruits (ranging from young entrants to new CEOs) in the workplace or in any vocational learning environment. This might be the first steps towards your aspirations to be a leader/manager or to work within education or training.
You will have sector-specific experience and qualifications, as determined by your employer or professional body, which you will use to guide and advise those who are less experienced and are new to a work role. The Learning Mentor is therefore a ‘dual professional’, having both up-to-date knowledge and skills in a specialist vocational or subject area and the generic skills necessary to develop, support and advise others.
If you enjoy motivating others, are aspirational and have a passion for learning and sharing your knowledge, skills and behaviours, this apprenticeship could be for you.
