Plan and implement a mentoring program at ECA 3
1. Introduction:
The ECA institute in Sydney aims at developing and preparing the students to enter
and succeed in the professional life. The students in this institute learn to be self-directed as
an individual professional and become confident enough to engage and participate in
different professional forums (ECA.edu.au 2019). In order to enhance the ability of the
students, a mentoring program shall be fruitful. The aim of this planning is to plan and
implement and design a mentoring program. As a part of the consulting design team, this
mentoring plan would help the new graduates who have commenced their job in ECA. This
proposal includes the need assessment, the program development, structuring the mentoring
program along with an action plan and a proposed budget required for the success of the plan.
2. Stage 1: Pre-planning
2.1 Need assessment
Reading Curtin et al. (2016), it can be said that mentorship provides important
feedback to the students about their performance, on improving skills, on the need of
pragmatic information and such areas in the preparatory stage when one makes the decision
of the career choice during their academic tenure. According to the Social Cognitive Career
Theory, mentoring can be of different forms like instrumental or psychological depending on
the individual who will be mentored. However, it is true that the mentoring process helps an
individual to decide on their career choice. As one of the goals of the ECA, correct career
decision will help the student to get into the right profession. As a result of which, the
institute will gain more recognition in its field and can be able to attract more students in
future. Thus, the mentoring plan would be beneficial for the institute in terms of its
recognition as well as gaining more number of students for every session.
