Further cohorts of mentees will be paired up with


suitable mentors and the hope is that, in time, those who were once mentees decide to offer themselves as mentors in future. If you are interested in registering your interest in becoming a SET mentor or a mentee, then please visit the SET Mentoring Service for more information. Here you will find downloadable guides for mentors and mentees. Visit goo.gl/brLqk7 There is also an Introduction to mentoring


programme, developed in conjunction with the elearning partnership organisation, Proversity, available at goo.gl/SJNeGC
