Main Goals

Mentoring implies mastering specific and generic skills that decompose into talents, knowledge and attitudes towards a mentoring project. 

This document focuses on creating a specific mentor profile for the Rural Plus Programme. The main objective is to outline the various skills (personal, interpersonal and others) that can constitute a descriptive role for a mentor, and consequently develop training actions to frame the mentor’s activities. 

Defining a mentor profile can contribute to improving the training programme, as it can improve the process of selecting and developing mentors by providing a set of key competencies for the well-pursuing programme.

That is, the profile allows contextualization and awareness of certain aspects of mentoring, and at the same time, the development of a set of training actions targeting the skills that prove to be more relevant and necessary.
