What is mentoring?

Mentoring has proven to be one of the most effective methods for achieving personal and professional growth, whether you're a mentor or a mentee. It's a learning and development partnership between someone with specific experience (a mentor), and someone who wants to learn or develop (a mentee).

Mentoring entails a series of structured conversations through which a mentor guides a mentee - offering insights, skills and networks that are crucial for personal and professional development.
