FOREWORD
This industrial training guide (mentoring tool) has been developed by The Nyeri National Polytechnic in partnership with trainers and industry
experts in Automotive.
Mentoring relationships have demonstrated to be an excellent way of enhancing professional growth. Both the mentor and the mentee give and
grow in the mentoring process. The mentee can learn valuable knowledge from the mentor’s expertise and past mistakes and competencies can
be strengthened in specific areas. Mentees will have the opportunity to establish valuable connections with higher level employees. The success
of mentoring will depend on clearly defined roles and expectations in addition to the mentee’s awareness of the benefits of participating in the
mentoring program.
This industrial training guide is an assessment tool used to assess whether a mentee meets the National Occupational Standards for Automotive
mechatronics Technician Level 6. Whilst there is no agreement or finite evidence as to how many times this supervised exercise should occur,
both the mentor and the mentee should feel confident that the mentee has the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes (worker behaviors) to
work as an automotive mechatronics Technician.
The Mentoring will facilitate the experienced mentors in the world of work to share knowledge and experiences with mentees working under
them towards a mutually beneficial professional development relationship. Mentors will be helpful in building competencies of mentees in areas
of practice.
