Guidelines for Success at Calaton Academy

Our objective for the Mentorship Program is to provide students with professional and personal skills, knowledge, and experience. As participants in the Calaton Academy, you are expected to abide by our rules. Below, we have outlined our expectations and process to set you up for success.

1. Expectations:

   1. From Mentors:
      • Dedicate time to students and be available for communication
      • Share knowledge and experience with students
      • Help students set and achieve their goals
      • Provide feedback and support to students
      • Must maintain confidentiality
   2. From Students:
      • Be active and engaged in the program
      • Complete tasks and adhere to agreements
      • Set clear goals and expectations
      • Learn and develop through the program
      • Must maintain confidentiality

2. Structure:

   1. The 3-4 month Mentorship Program will vary based on participants’ needs and capabilities, but will generally include the following activities:
      • Read three to four recommended books based on your speciality
      • Complete video courses for foundational speciality training
      • Complete beginner tasks, such as setting up accounts, and practical tasks to reinforce the theory from books and video courses
      • Meet with mentors approximately three times a week for 30–40 minutes to ask questions that arose during self-study and discuss practical tasks. Submit weekly update forms for mentors to review, describing your weekly achievements, upcoming plans, and any problems that arose.
      • Submit feedback at the end of training to your mentor and the program itself for future improvements
      • Review your summarized work and feedback after training is completed, including activity and participation, professional and personal skills demonstrated, and overall learning percentage completed. Based on demonstrated skills and available opportunities, top students may continue their journey with Calaton Systems as trainees

3. Program Termination:

   1. By mutual agreement between the mentor and the student, the mentor can terminate the program due to:
      • Student irresponsibility
      • Failure to complete or ignore mentor's tasks
      • Missing more than three group meetings
      • Lack of progress over a long period
   2. By mutual agreement between the mentor and the student, the student can terminate the program due to:
      • Personal reasons such as family circumstances, health issues, or a change in plans
      • Disagreement with the mentor, differences in expectations or work styles, or personal issues
      • Lack of motivation related to lack of student progress or insufficient feedback from the mentor
