Resources is designed to help Program Managers create a content library in Mentorly that allows them to share valuable materials with participants.
2 Key Benefits to using Resources
All Your Resources in One Easy-Access Place: No more scattered documents or endless email chains! With Resources, all your training materials, guides, articles, and videos are stored in one easy-to-access location. Both mentors and mentees can find what they need efficiently, whether they are at their desks or on the go.
Standardized Resources for All: Providing standardized materials helps maintain consistency across your program. Every participant receives the same high-quality guidance, no matter where they are in the process.
Creating your Resources library
Begin by identifying the key materials you want to include. Think about the needs and goals of your mentors and mentees or the guidelines you'd like them to abide by. Keep in mind that any materials added will be visible to both Mentors and Mentees.
Once you're files are ready, access your Mentorly Program Dashboard, select the Account tab (lower left-hand corner) and click on Programs. When your program(s) appears, click on Resources.
Note: To ensure findability and keep things organized, we highly recommend creating Categories first and adding resources second. This will make it easier to organize the content as you go.
To add a resource, click on Add Resource in the top right-hand corner. Secondly , select a file to upload or add a custom URL if the file is hosted online.
Next, add a title and a brief and clear-cut description of the file and when to consult it.
If you've created categories, you will need to select one next. If no categories have been created, it will simply stay "uncategorized" by default.
Lastly, select whether the document is in French or English or Both and then click Save. You'll be redirected to the Files page and notified that "Your resource has been updated successfully.". Your newly created Resource will appear in the list, under the chosen category.
Mentor / Mentee experience
To access Resources, Mentors and Mentees simply need to log in to their Mentorly account and click on Resources in the left-hand side menu. The list of available resources will appear, along with icons to identify the type of file each resource is.
