Mentoring
Course overview
Mentors are experienced employees who share their wisdom openly and fairly, without reservation. Mentees are employees who have shown potential for growth. Some are new to the industry while others are ready to move into leadership positions.
A mentoring program creates relationships between employees, mentors, and mentees. This relationship allows the development and transfer of knowledge and information while helping employees grow professionally.
