Opportunities in Mentoring Course

Mentoring can be either a formal or informal relationship established between an experienced, knowledgeable associate and that of an inexperienced or new member of the team. The purpose of mentoring is to help accelerate the new associate’s ability to learn and to be able to execute their roles and responsibilities of their job.

Mentoring is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool. It is a partnership between two people (mentor and mentee) normally working in the same office. It is a helpful relationship based on mutual trust and respect.

The mentor very often will serve as a sounding board as the new associate is assimilated into the company, as well as they become more knowledgeable and effective in their job.

In this course, we will learn about the benefits of mentoring, and provide insights into the roles and responsibilities of both the mentor and the mentee.  Reverse mentoring has become very popular in today’s high technology age, with a number of veteran associates acknowledging their own shortcomings with technology.
