Three Types of Mentorship Structures<\/h5>\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
One-on-One Mentoring<\/h6>\n
\n

This is the traditional model of mentoring, where one mentor (leader) and one mentee (employee) agree to enter into a mentoring relationship to help the mentee develop, improve, and achieve their goals. In this type of mentoring, the mentor has more experience in an area that the mentee is interested in, and so can act as an advisor and guide.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
Peer Mentoring<\/h6>\n
\n

This involves colleagues with similar experience levels mentoring each other.\u00a0 They may take turns acting as \u2018mentor\u2019 and \u2018mentee\u2019, but overall, peer mentoring is about creating a formal support system, learning together, and holding one another accountable.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
Reverse Mentoring<\/h6>\n
\n

A more junior person mentors a more senior person.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n It’s easy to get started.<\/span>\r\n <\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n

Sign up as a mentor, a mentee, or both! <\/h3>\r\n

A mentorship program can provide numerous benefits for mentors and their mentees. Developing this relationship can help both the mentor\/mentee learn new things, build networks, and grow as professionals.<\/p>\n
