mentorship program
Structured learning relationship
A mentorship program is a structured arrangement pairing experienced individuals with less experienced ones for guidance and professional development.
Organizations use mentorship programs to transfer knowledge, develop talent, and help newcomers navigate workplace culture: The company's mentorship program matches new hires with senior employees.
Unlike informal mentoring, these programs typically have defined goals, timelines, and expectations.
