4. Mentoring

9. Bring Closure to Individual Mentoring Connections. Entrepreneurs are advised
to develop a clear exit strategy for their business to help them focus upon a
tangible outcome. Mentoring is similar in the sense that without defining a closure
point, the mentoring process can wander aimlessly. As a mentoring connection
progresses, work with the mentor and mentee to identify mileposts that indicate
when mutually established goals have been reached. Establish a formal process
that brings closure to the mentoring experience. Within this process, provide an
opportunity for both the mentor and mentee to reflect upon what was learned,
04
discuss next steps for the mentee, and provide feedback.
10. Broadcast Mentoring Successes. After a mentoring program begins, the focus
naturally shifts into operating the program and keeping it running smoothly. Keep
in mind, there are likely many more potential participants waiting for signs that
joining the program is worth their time and effort. Continually demonstrate the
value of the program, recognize participant contributions, and spotlight successes.
This best practice effort will bring energy to the program, expand participation, and
increase overall support within the organization.

5. Evaluation
a. Evaluation of skills and competences

The definition given in the EQF system states that competence is the proven ability
to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and/or methodological abilities, in
work or study situations and in professional and personal development. In the
context of the European Qualifications Framework, competence is described in
terms of responsibility and autonomy. Competencies are not strictly related to one
single task or skill, but are requirements to be able in performing every kind of task
or skill. Even if competencies are more related to the personality than professional
skills and knowledge, they often make the difference between a successful and a
less successful worker. The competencies need a careful definition by the
employer and partner organization / training provider, because often they are
characteristics very high regarded by employers and can make the difference
between getting a job or not. Usually there are some general competencies, which
are valid in all kind of jobs as the following ones, who can be assessed with Y/N
system, going on with the same principles: Communicating well and clearly
Understanding and applying the basic job and relational rules Arriving in time at
work Working both alone and in team Adapting one's behaviors to circumstances
Decision making skills Being able in motivating, resolving mistakes.
