Mentorship

Mentorship has been consistently identified as a factor in career success. In this program the mentor would typically be the student's employer. It needs to be someone with substantial knowledge in the student's area of study, and with the time and interest to advise and guide the student towards the successful completion of the program.

The mentor plays an active role in helping the student plan a course of study, evaluating educational opportunities, and providing that important personal contact which is usually missing in self-guided studies.

Upon registration in the program the student must register the mentor with Gaia College. The mentor must be acceptable to Gaia College, and the college may at its sole discretion refuse to register a mentor, or deregister a mentor who was previously approved. A student may change mentors.

The mentor is a volunteer advisor to the student and is not remunerated by Gaia College. The student and the mentor may wish to agree on a mutually satisfactory arrangement to compensate the mentor for his or her time and effort.
