What is a mentoring program?

A mentoring program is a structured initiative where experienced individuals (mentors) provide guidance, support, and advice to less experienced people (mentees) to help them develop skills, achieve goals, and grow professionally or personally. These programs can be formal or informal and are often found in educational institutions, workplaces, and community organizations. The goal is to foster learning, build relationships, and enhance the mentee’s confidence and competence through regular interactions.
