Who is a workplace mentor?
A workplace mentor is an individual who supports your development in the workplace and reviews your progress and achievements at work. They play an important role in the achievement of your PER. Your workplace mentor should guide and support you by: • helping you identify which performance objectives you should aim to achieve • setting targets in terms of performance and timescales • providing access to appropriate work experience and supporting your development. This may mean helping arrange job rotations, project work or other opportunities to gain relevant experience • evaluating and reviewing your progress on a regular and ongoing basis • signing-off performance objectives you have achieved.
