What is “Mentoring”?

There is no hard and fast definition for mentoring. Generally it means pairing a learner with someone more senior and more  experienced to give them support, encouragement and guidance.

The key to mentoring is developing a one-to-one relationship, which is about personal as well as career development. A mentor should be someone you can confide in, and ask for help in resolving a situation or making a decision. Do you want to mentor?Can you spare a couple of hours a month to mentor someone?
