The NCCP Mentorship module prepares individuals for their roles as mentors with clarity of purpose and confidence in their actions. The training reaffirms and strengthens their abilities and skills as a mentor, while expanding upon the mentor’s knowledge of the mentoring process. Completing the training will provide the mentor with the necessary standards and protocols to implement mentoring within their coaching community.

Training for Effective Mentees is a suite of resources available for sport organizations to host and facilitate three training workshops for mentees. The training was created to support mentees to better understand their role within a mentorship model. Organizations that administer mentorship programs are encouraged to host the training to support the mentees within their program and educate them on how to make the most of their participation within a mentorship program.

After completing Training for Effective Mentees, mentees will be able to:

• Understand the role as a mentee 
• Develop connections with other participants  
• Gain the skills, knowledge, and tools to engage

The resource package includes the Mentee Workbook, a Facilitation Guide and accompanying PowerPoint, and should be used together with A Mentorship Guide for Advancing Women in Coaching: Mentee as reference material. Interested sport organizations may download the resources directly to host and facilitate the training for their mentees. The files are available for print, or to share electronically as fillable PDFs.
