Definition

Mentoring is A relationship between a more experienced individual and a less experienced individual that exists in a one-on-one fashion, designed to enhance the mentee’s understanding of, and ability to put into practice, knowledge and skills possessed by the mentor. Such relationships are usually established for extended periods of time. Source: Planning and Execution of Knowledge Management Assist Missions for Nuclear Organizations

Summary

Description

The role of a mentor is to transfer from the mentor to the menthe ideas and thought processes that are designed to foster critical thinking skills, self-confidence, and role maturity rather than to teach physical capabilities to perform specific tasks. In the nuclear industry, mentoring is often used to pair more senior personnel with junior personnel to assist the latter with professional and career development. As with coaches, mentors may be drawn from within or from outside an organization.
