A Mentorship Program is a structured initiative within an organization where experienced employees, known as mentors, provide guidance, advice, and support to less experienced employees, known as mentees, to help them develop their skills and advance in their careers. These programs typically pair mentors and mentees based on their goals, interests, and areas of expertise, and provide a framework for regular meetings and interactions. Mentors share their knowledge, experiences, and insights with mentees, offering guidance on career development, skill-building, and navigating the workplace. Mentees, in turn, have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of their mentors, gain new perspectives, and accelerate their professional growth. Mentorship programs contribute to employee engagement, retention, and organizational success by fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and skill development.
