PPA Mentors are required to attend every K2G session. Mentors must <br />notify the PPA Partnership Coordinator if they will not be able to attend. <br />One -on -One Field Mentoring <br />The CONTRACTOR will provide new PPA specialists with mentoring from experienced specialists (In - <br />House PPA Mentors), focusing on internal procedures and site visits. If no In -House Mentor is available, <br />ECOLOGY will assign a one-on-one mentor. The duration of the one-on-one mentoring will be <br />dependent on the new specialist's prior experience and will be agreed upon following evaluation by <br />Ecology and discussions with the specialist. Additionally, the PPA Mentoring Program connects new <br />specialists with mentors through K2G sessions, Webinars, All -Staff training(s), and the Discussion Board. <br />Specialists are encouraged to seek out additional mentoring support for problem -solving, sector research, <br />and field mentoring. Field mentoring involves site visits with the new specialist observing the mentor and <br />serving as a backup specialist during field work. New specialists will gradually take over the lead duties <br />during field work to prepare for full-time lead duties and to prepare for ECOLOGY's Shadow Workday. <br />Field mentoring visits must occur before the ECOLOGY PPA Shadow Workday. For more details, refer <br />to the New Specialist Training Plan (Appendix A, Statement of Work, Section 12: Resources). <br />Ecolozy Shadow Workday (Ecology Approval <br />Once the PPA Mentor and new PPA Specialist agree on readiness, ECOLOGY staff will accompany the <br />specialist on a few technical assistance visits (Ecology Shadow Workday). During these visits, the <br />specialist will demonstrate their ability to engage with site contacts and present the PPA program, <br />including waste management, spill prevention, stormwater pollution, and toxics reduction. After the <br />shadow workday, the specialist will inform ECOLOGY once the LSC database entries are complete and <br />provide any follow-up materials for review. <br />20 <br />Version 4/14/25 (Access Equity) <br />
