At GCGC
Effective mentoring, coaching, and counselling are essential for nurturing talent. While mentoring stands paramount worldwide, the primary objective of Career Counselling and Mentoring (CCM), one of the three verticals of GCGC, is the holistic personality development of our students through effective mentoring and empowering them to find and create the career of their dreams. Our faculty mentors carefully handhold young minds as they enter the portals of this university and provide personalized guidance to them as they take off into the world as empathetic human beings.
Faculty Accredited as Mentors
Our faculty members are meticulously trained through a Mentor Development Program(MDP) to enhance their counselling and mentoring abilities. Each mentor is initially accredited as a Certified Behaviour and Mentoring Analyst and then entrusted with the responsibility to guide and support students (mentees) right from their initial steps into the university till they step out as alumni. Through the MDP, the faculty mentors are trained to:
- Imbibe the essential mentoring skills
- Effectively adapt styles and
- mentor students with different personalities
Personality Profiling of Mentees
Well-designed personality assessment of the first-year mentees is facilitated through external partners to:
- enhance the self-awareness of the mentee
- enable the mentor to identify an effective mentoring style
- help the mentor channel the mentees’ energies in the right direction and
- guide the mentee in making the right career choice
Online Mentoring Platform
We have a unique in-house online mentoring platform called ‘ADHVA’ to provide a smooth and easy process for:
- documenting mentor-mentee meetings
- tracking the progress of the mentees
- reviewing the mentoring activity
This platform facilitates easier and more consistent documentation of the mentor-mentee meetings and helps track the mentee’s progress more effectively. Based on the feedback received from the stakeholders, this mentoring platform is upgraded regularly.
