What Is Mentoring?

A Learning Collaboration—a developmental caring, sharing, and helping relationship with a focus on the enhancement of the protégé’s or mentee’s growth and skill development.

Mentoring is just-in time help, insight into issues, and the sharing of expertise, values, skills, and perspectives. Mentors function as a catalyst—an agent that provokes a reaction that might not otherwise have taken place or speeds up a reaction that might have taken place in the future.
