A mentor is often a more senior individual with an extensive knowledge base in human resources who volunteers to coach, guide, and counsel students on a variety of topics. A mentor provides support, encourages development, and challenges mentees to stretch their limits. A mentor also shares experiences and wisdom to help mentees determine their future career paths. While a mentor may be a valuable resource for networking opportunities and career development, a mentor is NOT responsible for providing students with internships or serving as a job placement service.
