What’s inside?
What is MentorshipNET about?
Thought-out as a professional network, MentorshipNET is a
complex online platform which allows interaction between
mentors and mentees
MentorshipNET is one of the first online knowledge sharing
network.
When we say “mentees” we mean young people interested in a certain
topic who engage in a mentorship relation with professionals.
By “mentors” we mean you – the experienced professional with
valuable knowledge to share.
How much Time ?Minimum involvement (detailed below) with the platform will not take more than 30 minutes a week.
The classes: interaction space open to all mentees and mentors interested in a certain domain.
Our advice : check the discussions here once every 2 days and contribute whenever you feel there’s something to add
The courses : conversations started by you, the mentor. You can choose what kind of mentees can join and the frequency of your responses: daily, once very 3 days or once a week. Our advice : Give the mentees assignments and keep them busy!
