What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a concept in which an experienced person (mentor) passes on his or her specialist/social knowledge and/or experience to a less experienced person (mentee). The mentoring relationship is based on reciprocity. There is no competition with the regular support structures (e. g. doctorate). There should be no direct dependency between the mentee and the mentor (e.g. superior, PhD supervisor).
The term "mentoring" has its origin in Greek mythology. Ulysses asked the scholar Mentor to take over the education of his son Telemachos during his absence. The person of the mentor thus became synonymous with a personality who takes on the task of advising and accompanying a younger and less experienced person.
What is the Goal of Mentoring?
The goal of mentoring is the planning of the mentee's career, e.g. through an insight into the career and work experience of the mentor. The aim is to promote the mentee's professional career in an enriching way.
