The right mentoring interactions can meet these expectations by facilitating:

Opportunities for graduates to extend and challenge themselves as they grow.

Quickly develop essential skills that support personal performance, and bring new capabilities to the organisation.

A chance to voice their ideas or concerns in a safe environment.

The benefit of reverse mentoring as leaders understand their mentee’s views of the world.

development opportunities.”
