Apprentice Mentoring and Support
The PPTEU employs a mentor to provide support and guidance to Apprentices.
The essence of the role of Apprentice Mentor is to be a trusted point of contact that apprentices can access for support and assistance when confronted with concerns or issues which present obstacles to effective participation in the apprenticeship.
