The paper examines the different schools of thought relating to learning theories (psychology, HRD, learning and development) within a mentoring scheme. This paper explores the value of Experiential Learning Theory in the context of the mentoring scheme of the London Fire Brigade. Primarily, the scheme was introduced via an internal magazine and spread through word of mouth. The aims were to develop black and minority ethnic (BME) group (particularly female) engagement and recruitment. Additionally, it was also intended for the development and retention of existing members of that group. The research uses Kolb's (1984) model of learning styles –which shows how learning is an ongoing process and every previous step (experience) contains a significant value. The paper also highlights Honey and Mumford's 1992 theory, identifying four separate characteristics of learners: the activist, the reflector, theorist, and the pragmatist.
