A mentor is a person who has professional and life experience and who voluntarily agrees to help a mentee develop skills, competencies or goals. Even though there is an inequality in the skills, experience and knowledge of the partners, the partnership itself is equal. Both parties agree to the relationship and both parties agree to its success. The partnership is collaborative with both mentor and mentee working together to decide what the partnership hopes to achieve and how it hopes to achieve those aims.
