Applications are now open for two new Education and Training Foundation (ETF) programmes designed to develop the use of high-quality mentoring in the Further Education and Training sector. The ‘New to mentoring’ programme, which will run from October 2020 to March 2021, is suitable for FE practitioners who are new or relatively new to mentoring or coaching teacher or trainer colleagues in the FE sector. Running during the same six-month period, the ‘Advanced mentoring’ programme is for FE practitioners who have one to two years’ experience in mentoring teacher or trainer colleagues, or who have mentoring qualifications. The programmes will be provided at no charge and participation will be supported with a grant to individuals’ organisations of up to £6,000. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Further details on these programmes and how to apply is available here.
