improved communication skills for participants

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Co-ordinators and mentors assigned scores of 1-3 for a third of mentees while only four percent received ratings of 8-10. At the end of mentoring, in contrast, only two percent of mentees got scores of 1-3 and 33 percent had scores of 8-10. Nine out of ten responses (90 percent) recorded at least some improvement over the mentoring period and a fifth (20 percent) were adjudged to have improved by four or more scale points, indicating significant shifts for some individual mentees. No negative change was recorded. Changes during mentoring as regards communications amounted to an average improvement of 24 percent. The attribution to mentoring averaged 53 percent. The combined evidence from the mentee survey and mentee interviews once again shows a significantly higher level of improvement (41 percent) and attribution to mentoring (76 percent).
