For Mentors

Teach by doing the work you already do.

Mentors are the people who own the project. Apprentices join your work, you guide them through it, and at the end your signature turns their effort into evidence employers trust.

What you do

Four things, mostly in minutes.

Guide on real work

Apprentices contribute to a project you already own, with no separate curriculum to write.

Approve hours

Check logged hours each week. Approved hours are what apprentices are paid for.

Review work

Accept work or ask for changes with a short note. Feedback is the teaching.

Sign the proof

At the end, edit and sign a letter of recommendation and confirm the project record.

What Instiform handles

You mentor. We run the program.

  1. 1

    Instiform matches and prepares

    Apprentices arrive ready to contribute, with hours and responsibilities agreed upfront.

  2. 2

    A clear five-stage plan

    Connection, tutelage, participation, completion and documentation. The portal shows where you are.

  3. 3

    Safeguarding and conduct

    A code of conduct for everyone, and a separate line to Instiform for apprentices.

Mentoring counts toward your company's CSR report. Only invited Mentors can see a project's apprentices.

Questions

What Mentors ask first.

The employee who already owns the project. You don't teach a separate course. Apprentices join the work you're doing and you guide them through it.

A kickoff, regular working sessions you'd hold anyway, and a few minutes a week to approve hours and review work in the portal. Instiform handles matching, preparation, payroll questions and safeguarding.

Your company requests a pilot. Once Instiform sets the project up, your company invites you by email. Create an account with that address and the project appears in your portal.

Edit and sign each apprentice's letter of recommendation, and confirm a project record that the apprentice also signs. Both live in the portal.

Raise it with Instiform from the help chat or by replying to your project contact. Apprentices can also raise concerns with Instiform directly; a code of conduct applies to everyone.

Bring it to your company

Mentoring starts with a pilot.

Share the pilot page with whoever owns CSR or early talent at your company.
