To develop and pilot an accredited training programme for apprentice mentors or LSAs or equivalent, which is specific to this context, common across the partners, and which includes mentoring skills as a core unit.

The objectives of ImpleMentor are:

• To research the role of apprentices, mentors and LSAs in the different partner countries, and compare and ‘match' the training provision available to them.
• To develop a work-based training route focusing on the skills needed to support young people into employment / vocational training.
• To develop a mentoring training module, based on the current ‘Understanding Peer Mentoring' and ‘Introduction to Peer Mentoring' courses developed through the Peer Mentor Support programme, to add value to existing provision.
• To exchange existing training materials to create a bank of training materials on which all partners can draw, thereby filling gaps in provision.
• To identify a pilot group to trial the mentoring module and collective training materials.
