Mentor training programme impact evaluation 2022-23

The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) has awarded a contract for the provision of services: to deliver an independent impact evaluation of the ETF Mentoring workforce development programme in financial year (FY) 2022-23, with an embedded light-touch process evaluation. The evaluation will consider the extent to which the ETF's Mentor training programme supports delivery of the Skills for Jobs White Paper (January 2021) through the provision of 'effective support to new teachers moving into the sector by continuing to enable access to mentoring', with particular reference to Department for Education (DfE) programme objectives. Following HM Treasury guidance, the evaluation will assess the effectiveness of the Mentor training programme in meeting DfE objectives and recommend improvements to strengthen programme quality and impact to inform future programme investment and design decisions.
