SHRI Mentorship Scheme (SMS)
Doing business in today’s fast-paced and demanding world requires finding the highest quality
solutions at the lowest cost. However, as pivotal as it may be to business success, finding these cost
effective solutions remains a difficulty many organisations continue to face.
The Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI) recognises this, and has found that the answer to
this struggle lies in mentoring. Mentoring is a personal enhancement strategy through which a more
experienced person facilitates the development of another by sharing known resources, expertise,
values, skills, perspectives, attitudes and proficiencies. While the roots of mentoring may be lost in
antiquity, its practical usage is still very much prevalent today.
With this in mind, SHRI decided to set up a mentorship scheme with the primary focus of enhancing
HR practices in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. Aimed at increasing the HR
capabilities at organisational level through the sharing of experience and knowledge, this mentorship
scheme is the ticket to business excellence.
In future, SHRI may decide on other areas of mentoring depending on the interest and needs of
SMEs and organisations.

The weightage of various assessment components will be made known to students under the module
outline of the respective module(s). Onus is on the student to read and understand the assessment
criteria, format and weightage of module/unit components. Students may refer to their respective
lecturer(s)/Programme Executive for clarification when necessary.
Assignment
•
Submission of AssignmentTypically, the submission deadline falls on the Day of Examination. Students are to submit one
(1) hard copy (attach with the Assignment Cover Sheet) to our Duty Officer at the reception
before the start of examination. A penalty of 5 marks deduction will be imposed for each day
of late submission.
• Plagiarism
a. Plagiarism is literary theft and is totally unacceptable. It occurs when people take the
thoughts or writings of another, from the internet or other sources, and present them as
their own, without acknowledging the original source.
b. Plagiarism also includes passing the work of others as your own. Learners should also not
give their work to other learners for reference or to copy. Learners should not copy the
work of others.
c. Plagiarism is a very serious offence and severe penalties are imposed for acts of plagiarism.
If you have any doubts about plagiarism, you may ask the lecturer to explain to you.
d. You are not allowed to copy from the sources mentioned above - this is plagiarism and is
equivalent to cheating. Anyone caught plagiarising will automatically fail the project /
assignment.
How to avoid Plagiarism
- If you borrow words, sentences, or paragraphs directly from another source, put the
borrowed words in quotation marks and treat them as a quotation - indicate on the
footnotes the source of the quotation.
- If you paraphrase the words or thoughts of another, reference your source. If you
don’t use your own words in the paraphrase, you should use quotation marks.
- If you take an idea from someone else, reference the source of the idea.
