What is E-Mentoring?

E-mentoring is an interactive relationship between a Mentor and Mentee through the use of the Internet, rather than traditional networking connections, such as a colleague at work. Experienced business professionals offer their talent and advice to those they council, based on matching data compiled from a Mentor and Mentee's professional profile. Once a workable profile is identified, a mentoring partnership is formed and the E-mentoring program begins, initiated and carried out through E-mail correspondence. An E-mentoring partnership can last from several months to several years, based on the mutual parties needs and aspirations.
