Fostering Community: Mentorship, Sponsorship and the Role of the Mentee

About the event

Mentorship is a relationship between two people where an individual with more experience can pass along knowledge, skills and what they have learned through their career to a junior colleague within a certain industry. What does the mentee need to do in their preparedness to engage in the mentor/mentee relationship?

Sponsorship is a relationship between a protégé and an individual who has influence in the protégé’s career development and advancement.
