(2) • To learn from the Professional Mentor? • The PM is responsible to the SACPCMP for ensuring that the CANDIDATE is engaged in work having suitable and sufficient professional content, and that the experience is acceptable professional experience which would warrant a decision by the SACPCMP to recommend the CANDIDATE to Council for admission as a professional through the professional interview.

  6. Why Candidature? (1) • The Candidature – through 4 Phases: • Phase 0: Focus on growth • Phase 1: Building rapport • Phase 2: Setting direction • Phase 3: The Candidature proper • Phase 4: Moving on

  7.

(What I am going to look for when I meet the PMentor)

  8. Understanding the Candidature Process ( Conception, Planning & the Log Book)(2) • Phase 1: Building Rapport • Knowing each other – My career history; interest outside work; like & dislike in the Org.; values; and life goals,etc. • Examining long term objectives - My personal capabilities; career aspirations; possibilities within the local authority • Issues of trust – talk about the need for ‘honesty’; trust to maintain the confidentiality of the mentoring relationship

  9. Understanding the Candidature Process ( Conception, Planning & the Log Book)(3) • Phase 2: Setting Direction (Contract phase) • Goals - Your goals for the relationship? PMentoring vision from both sides? • Scope – What areas do not require attention? Any limits to the scope of your discussions? • Trust– How will you deal with confidentiality? Do you all agree that openness & trust are essential? • Fit - When & how to check that mentoring relationship is ‘right’ ? The need to agree to take responsibility to discuss the decision mutually. • Meeting logistics – When, where & how long will we meet? How often? Communication medium? Will there be written notes?, etc.

  13. Understanding the Candidature Process ( Post Progression)(1) • Phase 4: Moving On (1) • When will this happen? - depending on selected duration • The need to take time to discuss the following: (i) What results have been delivered, including any unexpected outcomes?
