Formal mentoring, on the other hand, refers to assigned relationships, often associated with organizational mentoring programs designed to promote employee development or at-risk children and youth.

In well-designed formal mentoring programs, there are program goals, schedules, training (for mentors and mentees), and evaluation. Mentors inspire their mentee to follow their dreams.

There are many kinds of mentoring relationships—from school- or community-based relationships to e-mentoring relationships.

In 1990, MENTOR created The Elements of Effective Practice, a tool for state and local mentoring organizations matching mentors and youth mentees in formal mentoring relationships of all kinds. MENTOR / The National Mentoring Partnership is an advocate and resource for Mentoring in the United States. Revised and updated several years later with a companion toolkit, The Elements guidebook reflects the latest in mentoring research, policies, and practices.

New-hire mentorship

For example, in some programs, newcomers to the organization (protégés) are paired with more experienced people (mentors) in order to obtain information, good examples, and advice as they advance. MENTOR / The National Mentoring Partnership is an advocate and resource for Mentoring in the United States. It is considered that new employees who are paired with a mentor are twice as likely to remain in their job than those who do not get mentorship. [1]

High-potential mentorship

In other cases, mentoring is used to groom up-and-coming employees deemed to have the potential to move up into leadership roles. The word leadership can refer to Those entities that perform one or more acts of leading Here the employee (protégé) is paired with a senior level leader (or leaders) for a series of career-coaching interactions. Career is a term defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an individual's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life" This article refers to the act of coaching people For other uses of the word see Coach (disambiguation Coaching -a definitionProminent A similar method of high-potential mentoring is to place the employee in a series of jobs in disparate areas of an organization, all for small periods of time, in anticipation of learning the organization's structure, culture, and methods. A mentor does not have to be a manager or supervisor to facilitate the process.
