Types of Programs
One-on-one mentoring
One-on-one mentoring, a mentor and mentee are paired. This one-on-one pairing allows the duo to focus on specific, identified competencies that the mentee would like to further develop. One-on-one mentoring relationships can be nondirective, where the mentor acts as a sounding board, catalyst, or role model. The relationship may also be more of a sponsorship, where a senior executive acts as the mentee’s champion, overseeing the mentee’s career path. A drawback for this mentoring is that there are often more mentees available than mentors.
E-mentoring
allows organizations to expand mentoring programs beyond one location. It uses social media platforms, email, or specialized software to facilitate communication and to allow the mentee to learn from the mentor’s experience regardless of physical location. This type of mentoring can build organizational relationships across locations and can help match more mentees with mentors.
Reverse mentoring
pairs a younger mentor with an older mentee to share knowledge that the younger mentor may be more in tune with than the mentee, such as social media and other technology. This type of mentoring can also help close generational gaps by encouraging communication between generations.
Group mentoring
also known as mentoring circles, one mentor can offer guidance and advice to multiple mentees.
Peer mentoring groups
allow individuals with similar interests to meet together to discuss issues and to learn from each other. Peer mentoring groups may be from a single department in an organization or from many departments (for example, a peer mentoring group for women throughout the organization). Peer mentoring groups can provide a safe, supportive forum in which to discuss challenges and to learn from one another.
Coaching
A career coach will help you master those you need for your job search, such as networking, interviewing, presenting and negotiating. Career coaches also help professionals leverage their experience and talents to find new ways to apply these skills.
