Facilitator Workshop: Learn to Implement Mentee Training and Develop Your Curriculum
2-Day Workshop
The two-day Facilitator Workshop: Learn to Implement Mentee Training is designed for leaders of research training programs (undergraduate or graduate) who want to build and deliver a customized workshop or course for their research trainees. During this workshop, research training program leaders are introduced to the Entering Research curriculum, which has nearly 100 activities that address 7 areas of trainee development: research communication & comprehension skills; practical research skills; research ethics; researcher identity; researcher confidence & independence; equity & inclusion awareness & skills; and professional & career development skills.
Workshop participants become familiar with the curriculum, practice facilitating training components, and develop a plan to design, implement, evaluate, and assess a custom training at their institution or organization
