Mentoring: a practitioner following your trajectory

Mentoring pairs an experienced practitioner with a student across the whole course. It deals with trajectory: which decisions to take, in what order, and where to concentrate effort. The meeting is short, regular, and held across the whole course.

Trajectory-level support

Mentoring establishes a long relationship between a student and a practitioner of the target profession. The mentor does not work on today's exercise: they illuminate trajectory choices, name what genuinely matters in the profession, and recount decisions they have taken. The meeting is regular, short, and about direction more than technique.

Regular short meetings, across the whole programme

Tutoring and mentoring, two distinct roles

On the Entrepreneurship programme, the mentor has founded and run a company: they probe the market assumptions and the cash forecast before the plan goes to defence. On the Multi-site Management certification, they hold a function equivalent to the one the student aims for, in a comparable organisation.

Works on today's technical difficulty	Illuminates trajectory choices
Steps in on request, on a piece of work	Meets at regular intervals, over time
Comes from the teaching team	Practises the target profession
Has the student produce	Has the student decide
