Overview
The briefing session offers an opportunity to discover more about the mentoring scheme, receive training on mentoring skills, and an opportunity to network with other members of SEB. You will be asked to complete a full registration form after attending the briefing. Once you are matched you will also receive a starter pack to support your mentoring partnership.
Mentoring can help you with:
- Building and sustaining effective working relationships
-
Supporting your own and others’ development and growth
-
Understanding personal strengths and patterns, and shaping strategies for future success
The SEB mentoring session begins with a briefing session. There are two sessions to choose from. Session 1 is for those who are new to the scheme, and session 2 is for anyone who has taken part previously.
Which session should I join?
We held two "live sessions" on the 8th and 9th of October. Good news, if you would still like to join the mentoring scheme there is still time!
Recorded option
We have a recorded version of the training available until the end of October.
This session will:
- outline how the scheme works and the different facets involved
- explore practices and skills required for working in a mentoring partnership
- identify tools and practices to support effective, confident mentoring
To choose this, click the booking link and select the recorded session option when prompted. You'll receive access to a recording via email, so you can complete the training at a time that works for you.
You will need to create and/or log into your SEB account to be able to book this event.
What happens next?
Along with the recording, you will receive a form to complete after watching the trianing. On this form you will be asked about your interests and topic areas relevent for creating a partnership. You must fill out this form if you wish to participate in the mentoring scheme as it assists us in matching you with a suitable mentor or mentee. Should you decide not to participate after the briefing session, you will have the option to opt-out.
