This is the responsibility of the individual CF, with support from the MRA and input from relevant local stakeholders. The mentor should ensure that they take the theory of the trade (e.g. entrepreneurship, language, mathematics etc.) as seriously as the practical training. A quarterly mentorship meeting must be established. • Ongoing monthly monitoring of apprentices must be ensured by the Community Facilitator with at least one workshop visit/month until the conclusion of the training period.
