International Mentoring Programme
One example is the African Mentoring Programme
- a unique project linking UK College staff to
their African peers. Its origins lie in the voluntary
work that has been carried out in the last decade
by serving and retired College staff, working
with and supporting colleagues in leadership and
management roles in African vocational institutions.
The pilot programme which commenced in March
2011 has demonstrated the mutually beneficial links
that can be established. AoC and other key partners
have been raising awareness of the programme,
through presentations, media relations and other
dissemination activities. The AoC Charitable Trust
is now looking for new partners and sponsors to
join us to help grow the valuable links established
through the pilot programme.
