Overview

A common failing of many trainings is that people leave their learning at the training room door. Coaching and mentoring ensures transference of learning, supporting participants in one-to-one or small group settings by guiding them to practically apply what they have learned outside the training room.

Main objectives

  • To maximise the transference of knowledge from theory to practice by encouraging and guiding course participants through relevant practical tasks.

  • To support participants with the production key outputs by applying the learning they have acquired (e.g., preparing a proposal, writing a report, or designing a fundraising campaign).

  • To provide follow-up support to fill any gaps in understanding and clarify any uncertainties from the training received.
