Additional Mentoring Resources
When we think of a mentor, we probably think of one person guiding or
helping another person in some way. And, the Merriam-Webster dictionary
agrees with this by defining a mentor as “a trusted guide or counselor.”
For the purpose of this Mentoring Guide, we look at mentoring from the
standpoint of a person’s career. That means our definition of a mentor
and mentee is:
Mentor: Someone who helps another person develop / grow / progress in
their career.
Mentee: The person receiving the help of a mentor.
