Mentees

Find a guide and an advocate for your career

Mentees can benefit personally and professionally through the knowledge and experience of another communicator.

While the knowledge, advice, or resources a mentor shares depends on the goals of your mentoring relationship, typically mentees find with their mentor they can:

• Ask tough questions about work in a safe environment
• Learn about alternative career paths
• Explore how to navigate workplace challenges
• Solicit feedback and find blind spots
• Set goals
• Develop new contacts
• Identify other career and personal resources
• And more…

Mentees are not the only learners. The mentor/mentee relationship also allows you an opportunity to bring your other knowledge and special skills to your mentor.
