When you finish you will be able to

Guide a young engineer until they can do on their own what they used to do with help.

What you learn

  • Define the goal of developing someone with observable conditions: new data, zero interventions, a result that passes review and three cases in a row.
  • Model a task by thinking out loud and write down its steps so that someone who doesn't know how can follow them.
  • Guide with a ladder of help, from the open question to doing it together, and recognise when to stop asking in order to teach or to halt the work.
  • Plan the fading of support in four stages, with a criterion for each change and a record of interventions.
  • Run a weekly mentoring meeting that answers where are we going, how are we going and where to next.

Who it is for

Young people aged 16 to 24 who are studying engineering or a technical trade. This node belongs to the expert stage: today you practise the method with a classmate or a younger sibling, on a task you have already mastered. Examples from electrical work, all on paper or with batteries.
