improved self-confidence of participants

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

The surveys and interviews asked about self-confidence at the beginning and end of mentoring and confirm relatively low initial levels of self-confidence among mentees. Co-ordinators and mentors assigned low scores of 1-3 for almost half of mentees, with ten percent given the lowest rating of 1. Only four percent could be described as having high levels of self-confidence. In contrast, at the end of mentoring, only four percent of mentees were in the low score category and 30 percent in the highest. Improvements during mentoring as regards self-confidence amounted to an average of 24 percent according to co-ordinators and mentors and more than four out of five cases recorded at least some improvement over the mentoring period. The attribution to mentoring was 57 percent. The combined evidence from the mentee survey and mentee interviews shows substantially higher levels of improvement (45 percent) and attribution to mentoring (71 percent).
