Lesson 6.2: Identifying Non-Traditional Talents – One-on-One Discussion Questions

    This resources is designed support you, as a mentor, in conduntiong one-on-one sidcussions with apprentices to assess their potential and uncover non-traditional talents they may have. In the Inclusive Apprenticeship project, we recognize that talent is not always visible through traditional metrics such as qualifications or previous work experience. This assignment will hlwp you craft questions that encourage apprentices to explore both their work-related skills and life experiences, revealing strenghts that may not be immediately apparent.

    By asking the right questions, you can uncover hidden talents, forest self-reflection, and help apprentices recognize their full potential. Use the set of questions you create to guide meaningful conversations that helpidentify strenghts and skills that may be useful in their future careers.

    You are encouraged to use these questions freely to guide your conversations with apprentices. This exercise will help you discover a broader range of skills and qualities that contribute to their success, both in the workplace and beyond.

 

Objective:
Create a set of 5–7 questions that could be used in one-on-one discussions with an apprentice to assess their potential and identify any non-traditional talents they may have. Consider both work-related skills and life experiences that could reveal hidden strengths.

Tips for the assignment:  

  • Focus on questions that allow apprentices to explain their experiences in their own words. Open-ended questions will lead to richer, more detailed responses. 
  • Recognize that apprentices may have valuable life experiences from family, hobbies, or volunteer work that can reveal important talents. 
  • Everyone has faced challenges, whether in life or at work. By focusing on how someone has solved problems, you can identify creative thinking and resilience. 
  • Asking about learning experiences can provide insight into how the apprentice approaches challenges and self-improvement.
