A humbling experience.
Benjamin reckoned from the experience of providing mentorship that people really need such assistance and he’s willing to avail himself for subsequent programmes of this nature. He tells us why:
My name is Benjamin Nii Ayai Cobblah, an IT professional. I got involved in mentoring the Computer Science Group and really enjoyed it. My direct benefit from the CoRe programme had to do with the interactions with the mentees. Questions posed and interactions during sessions made me understand how truly blessed I am, and I will readily avail myself for such engagements going forward.
Some of my key areas of personal learning and self- improvement include typing fast during sessions and combining all types of media (text, voice, pictures, video). I always had to decide on one based on which would be easily accessible, would not require too much bandwidth from mentees and provide a rich delivery experience.
I think the platform used, WhatsApp, is good but it has a few limitations. Some mentees may read the submissions from the mentor and may partially understand what is being shared. However, feedback may sometimes be hindered. But overall, it has been an insightful knowledge sharing and mentorship experience.
Thank you.
