Are you looking for a 1 day “mentorship” or a continual program?
I’m guessing since your coming at this issue from a corporate position, maybe helping them with skill towards employability may be helpful?
If 1 day, then consider some of these items to include in the schedule:
- provide examples of possible career paths. meet other employees and learn about what they do and education/training needed to get such a job
- introduce them to basic company etiquette: how to dress/introduce themselves when meeting an interviewer, what is appropriate language for a business email, etc.
- have them work with you to figure out/solve some simple, manageable problem. It’s important to find a task that has a clear reason and can be achieved within the short period of time. This could be anything from building a rack of test computers to designing a widget.
- ask them to design a team of people to make some sort of product they would be interested in. Have them describe what types of people they would want to have in the team and why they would want such people. This could be used to demonstrate introspection, a valuable tool in self help/learning.
