About Mentoring

Mentoring is a personal development and empowerment tool based upon mutual trust and respect. Mentoring is becoming increasingly popular as it is an effective way of assisting people to progress in their careers. It is a partnership between two people (mentor and mentee) normally working in a similar field or sharing similar experiences.
