The guidebook is organized in four sections. Section 1 helps the reader determine appropriate parameters for their program and create a management structure to support it. Section 2 helps businesses to develop a pool of skilled mentors. Section 3 gives detailed guidance for delivering high-quality worksite learning experiences and evaluating results.
