Mentorship Matters™ Benefits
Faster skills acquisition
Workers or ‘mentees’ who work with mentors acquire key competencies more quickly and effectively than those who don’t have mentors.
Increased productivity and safety
When apprentices learn from mentors, they are more productive workers and maintain higher safety standards.
Improved job satisfaction
Apprentices experience greater job satisfaction and take more pride in their work when they have the skills they need to succeed and the support from a qualified mentor.
Better hiring retention
The collected benefits of working with a mentor—including greater job satisfaction and more competence overall—make apprentices less likely to leave their programs or the trades.
Intergenerational communication
Mentorship Matters™ provides a clearly defined system for skills transfer, ensuring that essential knowledge is not lost between one generation of workers and the next.
