Attendance at the briefing session will provide you with the knowledge and skills to have a successful mentoring relationship and provide you with an overview of the structure that will be used to run the mentoring sessions. It will then be up to each mentor/mentee pair to establish their own timetables for their one-on-one meetings, which should take place at least monthly for the program period.

Mentee/mentor relationships should be based on trust, and all discussions between you and your mentor will remain confidential. You will be able to agree with your mentoring partner as to how you will handle confidentiality between you.
