The programme equipped faculty mentors with conceptual clarity and practical skills essential for effective mentoring in higher education. It highlighted mentoring as a strategic enabler of student success, addressing learner diversity, academic progression, emotional well-being and professional development. Key focus areas included structured mentoring systems aligned with institutional goals, effective communication and basic counselling skills, and participative, activity-based mentoring approaches. Interactive discussions and reflective exercises enabled mentors to contextualise strategies within their departments, reinforcing the university’s commitment to holistic student development and continuous quality enhancement.
