Mentoring training for southern Africa
23rd July 2007July 23 and 24, 2007 saw Kentz Mentor training take place at Kentz Midrand headquarters in South Africa, with participants traveling across the region. Dr Eric Sandelands of Corporate Learning Consultants facilitated the event.

The two-day training workshop marked the formalization of the mentoring process in the region, introducing group-wide processes.
The first day was for mentors only and focused on the mentoring role in Kentz, assessing and monitoring mentee progress, identifying and resolving mentee issues, reports, tracking and company interfaces. The “mentee” is the person being mentored, in Kentz normally a newly qualified graduate or junior trades person.
The second day saw mentors meet with mentees and work through issues one-on-one and in groups. An initial presentation focused on career development within Kentz, and the final session of the day concentrated on embedding the mentoring process in the region.
The mentees were able to present issues and suggested actions to Eion Hurley, Regional Managing Director and Takis Karallis, Group HR Director. The event was organized and administered by Hayley Barker (Human Resources Manager) and her team. In all, 36 people completed the training.
