New Mentors Are Ready to Share Knowledge and Experience with Juniors

Olesia Ulianova’s workshop series completed for the future Intetics mentors from IT GROW Center.

Training of Juniors is a difficult process and requires personal dedication and acquired mentoring skills.

Olesia assured, “In mentoring, it doesn’t matter at all who your new employee is, what his personal and professional qualities are. The only important thing is who you are in relation to him, and how you can build relationships with him and transfer knowledge to him.”

A mentor has responsibilities for a number of important tasks.

To build the training process for newcomers to the company, you need to go through the following steps:

– determine for yourself to what type of mentor you refer and what mentoring style suits you best;

– identify the personality type of Junior you will be working with.

– “listen” to a beginner using active listening skills, as well as determine how you will give a constructive feedback to a beginner;

– build task-setting algorithms and determine methods of dealing with resistance;

– based on the basic concepts of Conflict Management, develop an optimal line of behavior in case of conflict, but even better is to learn how to prevent it;

– finally, draw up a Career Development Plan and develop a learning strategy for Junior.

Training is built on trust and motivation to go towards your goals.

Mentoring workshops from IT GROW Center is an opportunity for new mentors to master the necessary skills, develop knowledge in real situations and become a real mentor for newcomers of the profession.
