Mentoring – what is it?
mentor: (noun) an experienced and trusted adviser.
mentoring: (verb) advise and train someone.
Mentoring = a learning relationship, focused on long term career development.
Purpose: drive personal growth; build skills, knowledge and understanding.
Mentors may use coaching skills in their conversations, but usually the mentor role is
wider than that of a coach and may include opening doors, making connections and
sharing experiences.

Mentorship Program: 6 month continued learning program that matches experienced
RPA industry leaders — from both within UiPath and the broader community — with
professionals early in their RPA journey who are motivated to get to the next level.
The (aspiring) RPA professional and the RPA industry lead will (virtually) meet up for
unstructured or structured bi-weekly sessions to work through their own challenges or
an assignment provided by UiPath or the Mentor.
