Citi Group Mentoring Year 11 Students

 

Plumpton’s Citi Group Mentoring recommenced this week with 50 Year 11 potential school leaders. Each Citi Group mentor worked with up to 3 students.

Mentoring can be seen as a learning process in which the mentor may use discussion, inquiry, requests and reflection to help students identify personal and career goals. They can help to develop relationships, understandings, strategies and action plans intended to achieve these goals. Importantly, in the student/mentor relationship, students are responsible for their own achievements and success. The student may act and the mentor may assist but the mentor doesn’t lead or do more than the student. The mentor can also assist by sharing an outside, unbiased perspective and specific insights and skills to empower the students toward their goals.

This mentoring program assists our students’ decision-making and goal setting about their direction at and beyond school, leadership, understanding the world beyond school in general, the opportunities available in the corporate world and other industries. Students continue developing soft skills in areas of communication and networking etc… and gain valuable knowledge about strategies that will assist them in accessing career opportunities.

 

Thank you to Citi Group and ABCN for their ongoing support and partnership that is leading to outstanding student outcomes at and beyond school.
