For colleges, employers and CSR teams

Mentoring for a whole batch, mapped to national standards

We put your students, employees or apprentices in front of working industry mentors — and we map what they learn to the Qualification Packs and National Occupational Standards your programme is already measured against.

No login needed for the gap analysis. It takes about two minutes and produces a page you can share.

Who this is built for

Three buyers, one delivery model.

Colleges and universities

NEP-2020 expects industry connect to be real and evidenced, not a guest lecture once a semester. A mentoring cohort gives every student in a batch structured contact with someone doing the job, and gives you a record of it.

Employers and apprenticeship leads

Apprentices and new hires fail on the things a manual cannot teach — judgment, escalation, working with customers. Outside mentors close that faster than internal training, and without pulling your senior people off the floor.

CSR and foundation programmes

Skilling spend has to survive an audit. Mapping a cohort to published national standards means your report says which competencies moved, against which code, rather than how many people attended.

Why the standards mapping matters

Hamara Mentor is affiliated with MEPSC — the Management & Entrepreneurship and Professional Skills Council, a Sector Skill Council under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and an awarding body recognised by NCVET.

That matters for one practical reason. Most mentoring is unmeasurable, so it is the first line cut from a budget. When a cohort is mapped to a real Qualification Pack and its National Occupational Standards, the outcome stops being a feeling and starts being a document — one your board, your auditor or an accreditation panel can read.

See what that output looks like

What a cohort includes

  • A skills gap analysis for the group, against a named Qualification Pack
  • A mentor panel drawn to match the gaps, not assigned at random
  • Group mentoring sessions over an agreed period, run online
  • A written plan at the start and a written record at the end
  • A single point of contact for the whole programme

Group format, minimum 100 participants. Priced per participant and quoted per cohort, because the mentor panel is built for your gaps rather than picked off a shelf.

How it runs

Four steps. The first one you can do yourself, right now.

1

Diagnose

Describe your group and the roles you are preparing them for. You get a gap analysis against a real Qualification Pack, free, without talking to anyone.

2

Scope

One call. We agree the cohort size, the standards to target, the length of the programme and the price.

3

Run

Mentors are matched to the gaps and sessions run to a published schedule. Your coordinator sees attendance and progress throughout.

4

Report

A closing report per cohort: which standards were addressed, what changed, and what the next block should cover.

Start with the diagnosis, not the sales call

Run the gap analysis first — it costs nothing and it will tell you whether this is worth a meeting. If it is, send it over with your notes and the first call starts from something concrete.
