MAPS (Mentoring for Access Practitioners Scheme)

One of the objectives of SCAPP is to explore and deliver learning and development opportunities for practitioners.

MAPS (Mentoring for Access Practitioners Scheme) was launched in October 2020 following training and information sessions. The programme was developed with assistance from the Scottish Mentoring Network.

Participating in a mentoring scheme can be immensely rewarding and an important and valuable part of personal and professional development whether at the beginning of a widening participation career or as an experienced practitioner. The scheme is designed to benefit from the wealth of expertise that exists across the WP community in Scotland.

‘The mentoring programme has been invaluable to developing my confidence professionally and personally’  – Mentee, SCAPP MAPS 2020-2021

‘I feel more confident in my own professional practice as being a mentor forced me to reflect on my own journey and challenges that I have overcome’ – Mentor, SCAPP MAPS 2020-2021
