What is Mentoring?

Mentoring is a developmental partnership in which an individual with greater knowledge, skills, or experience guides and supports the growth of a less experienced person. This relationship typically involves the mentor sharing their expertise and insights to help the mentee set realistic objectives, identify and overcome obstacles, and develop a deeper understanding of their personal and professional aspirations.
