No-one would disagree with the need for Mentoring in any organisation that wants to succeed, especially those that rely on people working in the rapidly changing technical environment of IT. Perhaps you already have access to a mentoring programme, and would like to review whether this is giving you the benefits you expect? Or maybe you would like to understand more about other mentoring options, either as a Mentee or a Mentor?
This series of events will enable you to gain a better understanding of these options, facilitate you to explore them with other senior people in IT and offer you the opportunity to try some of them out for yourself.
