TOOLKIT FOR MENTORS: #NGO TRAINED APPRENTICESHIP IN CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS
YiHR, our project partners from Croatia, have recently developed a toolkit for mentors in civil society organisations, who would be interested in implementing an 80-hour training program for young people with no work experience.
The toolkit is a part of the #NGOTrained Apprenticeship program in civil society organisations. The goal of the program is to provide young people who have no work experience in civil society organisations with knowledge, skills, and attitudes important for working in civil society organisations.
At the same time, the program enables mentors from civil society organisations to improve their mentoring skills and to create a custom 80-hour training program that can be adapted and used for any new person entering their organisation as a volunteer, employee or associate.
We hope that a custom training built on the basis of the apprenticeship program and the toolkit will have a long-lasting impact on the way new people are introduced to civil society organisations.
The purpose of this toolkit is to serve as a set of guidelines as well as an inspiration for mentors in civil society organisations, helping them to plan the activities for the apprentices, as well as a repository that includes all templates and other materials used during the apprenticeship program.
