Course description
Create Your Own Internal Mentoring Program - In-house Training
Mentoring and medicine are the two oldest helping professions in the world. Modern companies are now bringing this age-old mentoring tradition into their in-house management system. By creating internal mentoring programs, companies are able to cut spending on outside mentoring and coaching resources and provide broader access to these services.
In order to put an internal mentoring program in place, thoughtful planning, preparation, and time are necessary. Strategic Leadership Development International has created this course to give aspiring organizations the tools, insight, and direction that they need to successfully implement a quality mentoring program conducted by managers and supervisors.
Through this training, Dr. Mike Armour has been able to help family-owned enterprises, non-profits, closely held private corporations, and even a Fortune 100 company develop a robust mentoring system.
