MENTORING

An essential part of union organising to develop new and active members is to provide mentoring for them. This is about the development of the individual within the collective, about supporting colleagues in tough situations and helping them to reflect on planning and growing their effectiveness. The previous great success and popularity of the GFTU’s mentoring training is repeated again in this programme as two courses an introduction and a taking it further weekend.
