There are many guides to mentoring. Many of the important steps have been covered in earlier parts of the course. Here is a simple 5-step process for the mentoring journey - from CAPHIA.
In the African context, the African Academy of Sciences has a guide to effective mentoring. It starts: 'In developmental mentoring models, mentees are expected to be on the driving seat and autonomous in goal setting while their mentors encourage and support their learning and growth. There is no line of accountability, but both partners should learn from the mentoring relationship. The following strategies should enhance efficiency in your mentoring relationship':
Developing mentorship goals; The mentoring agreement; Your first meeting; Structuring mentoring sessions; and concludes: Effective relationships: A successful mentoring relationship depends on establishing and nurturing friendly, encouraging and supportive mentor-mentee interactions. You can read the details again in the file here.
Of course all this comes after the selection of mentors and mentees and identification of the communication platform etc.
