What is Mentoring? There are few experiences more rewarding than teaching what you know to someone else.

Experienced people in every industry often decide to “adopt” a protégé—whether the arrangement is through a formal mentoring program, or an informal mutual decision to take a new employee “under your wing” and show him the ropes.

The reasons to enter a mentor-protégé relationship are many, but the most common is when the protégé candidate shows promise from the start.

Mentor-protégé relationships can be either formal or informal.

Informal mentoring relationships often develop on their own, with the more experienced person offering advice and assistance and the newcomer taking that advice to heart.

Many organizations have formal mentoring programs, which can be either within the company or within the industry. For example, the Small Business Administration runs a mentoring program where retired business executives dedicate their time to developing protégés.

College interns also figure into the equation. Though protégés are not always interns, the relationships are virtually the same, while the reasoning may be different. But whether you work with a protégé or a college intern, becoming a mentor can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your professional life.
