Mentoring involves a well-defined relationship between an experienced mentor and a less experienced mentee, where both parties understand the mentee's goals and the mentor's role in helping achieve them. Key aspects of mentoring include an ongoing relationship focused on the mentee's development, agreed upon goals and timeline, and responsibilities for both the mentor to provide guidance and the mentee to consider advice and take action. Mentoring is not a single brief meeting, training, or daily assistance, but a committed relationship where the mentor uses their experience to help the mentee progress toward their career or professional goals.
