TVET CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION COUNCIL (TVET CDACC)

MENTORING TOOL

FOR

COMPUTER PROGRAMMER

LEVEL 6
FOREWORD
This mentoring tool has been developed by TVET Curriculum Development, Assessment and Certification Council (TVET CDACC) in
partnership with trainers and industry experts in Computer Science.

Mentoring relationships have demonstrated to be an excellent way of enhancing professional growth. Both the mentor and the mentee give and
grow in the mentoring process. The mentee can learn valuable knowledge from the mentor’s expertise and past mistakes and competencies can
be strengthened in specific areas. Mentees will have the opportunity to establish valuable connections with higher level employees. The success
of mentoring will depend on clearly defined roles and expectations in addition to the mentee’s awareness of the benefits of participating in the
mentoring program.

This mentoring tool is an assessment tool used to assess whether a mentee meets the National Occupational Standards for Computer Science
Level 6. Whilst there is no agreement or finite evidence as to how many times this supervised exercise should occur, both the mentor and the
mentee should feel confident that the mentee has the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes (worker behaviors) to work as an Computer
Scientist.

The Mentoring will facilitate the experienced mentors in the world of work to share knowledge and experiences with mentees working under
them towards a mutually beneficial professional development relationship. Mentors will be helpful in building competencies of mentees in areas
of practice.

● Assisting mentee understand the organisation’s requirements
● Assigning mentee tasks
● Observing mentee performance and record areas where the mentee needs improvement
● Assisting the mentee to come up with action plan for areas where he/she needs improvement

Role of Mentee
A mentee is a trainee who is on work placement (attachment) or is on-job training in an organization.
The role of the mentee includes:
● Completing the assessment tasks assigned by the mentor and filling out the self-assessment section
● Keeping the company’s information confidential
● Being aware that he/she may be working with people from different backgrounds and cultures, so there is a need to respect those
differences
● Asking for feedback and giving feedback when required.

Role of Industrial Liaison Officer

The Industrial Liaison Officer (ILO) is the officer in the training institution assigned the responsibility of coordinating activities of industry
training based on TVET CDACC and institutions guidelines for industry training. The role of ILO include;

4
 • Sensitizing trainees on their responsibilities during industry training
• Sensitizing mentors on their roles during industry training for trainees
• Coordinate industry training
• Receiving mentoring tools from trainees
• Ensuring mentorship tools are included in each candidate portfolio of evidence
• Upload candidate final mark to TVET CDACC portal

How to use the mentoring tool

● Where a skill, knowledge or attitude is not applicable in a particular workplace, the mentee should indicate not applicable (NA)
● The mentor should ask the mentee oral questions to gauge the knowledge of the mentee
● The mentee should fill the self-assessment section upon self-evaluation
● The mentor should fill the mentor review record upon observing and evaluating the mentee
● Action plan should be filled by the mentee after agreeing with the mentor for any item assessed as needs to improve
● Upholding the organization’s standards of work ethics.

Mentoring Period
The attachment period should be at least three months. Mentee should spend at least two thirds of the attachment period in performing computer
networking, installing computer software, performing computer repairs and maintenance, managing database systems, developing computer
programs and managing operating systems. Time spent in each section/department should be documented using form in Appendix A.

5
Number of Assessments
Three assessments are to be conducted using the mentoring tool: one within the first month of the attachment where the mentor assesses the
mentee to assess their initial level of competence; another assessment will be conducted within the second month of the attachment period to
gauge the progress of the mentee and the third one will be conducted within the third month of the attachment.

Submission of Mentoring Reports

The trainee/mentee is required to submit each of the three mentoring reports (in hard or soft copy) to the Industrial Liaison Officer of the
respective institution. The Industrial Liaison Officer is required to submit to TVET CDACC offices the three mentor’s summary reports
(Appendix B). The mentoring reports for each trainee/mentee are to be kept in the institution and made available to TVET CDACC on request.
