WHAT IS MENTORSHIP?
Mentorship has proven to be one of the most effective methods for achieving personal and professional growth, whether you're a mentor or a mentee. It's a learning and development partnership between someone with specific experience (a mentor) and someone eager to learn or develop (a mentee). Mentorship entails a series of structured conversations through which a mentor guides a mentee, offering insights, skills, and networks crucial for personal and professional development.
