mentor programs
Structured coaching relationships
Mentor programs are structured arrangements pairing experienced individuals with less experienced ones for guidance and development.
Common in workplaces, schools, and professional organizations, they formalize what might otherwise happen informally: The company's mentor program matches new hires with senior employees.
The goal is typically skill development, career advancement, or personal growth through regular interaction and advice.
