The purpose of mentoring is to tap into the existing knowledge, skills, and experience a mentee has and elevate or enhance them. A mentor provides a mentee professional practical advice, encouragement, and support throughout the mentoring journey exploring options, setting  goals, developing contacts, and identifying resources.

​

A mentor may share with a mentee information about his or her own career path, as well as provide guidance, motivation, emotional support, and role modeling. A mentee will become more empowered to make better decisions, increase their knowledge, develop strategies for dealing and managing what ever area of life they want to focus on more effectively.
