Introduction to entrepreneurship/IENT102/Mentorship/What
According to Wikipedia:
Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored, but she or he must have a certain area of expertise. It is a learning and development partnership between someone with vast experience and someone who wants to learn.[1] Mentorship experience and relationship structure affect the "amount of psychosocial support, career guidance, role modeling, and communication that occurs in the mentoring relationships in which the protégés and mentors engaged."[2]

Mentors and Mentees are found in lots of different situations. For example: new soldiers and an army trainer, a student nurse and the charge nurse, or novice brick layer and the site foreman.
