Mentoring often begins in an educational environment, with a fellow student who is further along in the same program (a "peer advocate"), or between an instructor and a student. Mentorships can also be community-based, part of a church group or other organization designed to offer professional advice and guidance to those who've expressed an interest. Equally effective may be a managerial-subordinate pairing in either the same or different departments. But, depending on the goals of the mentoring relationship, the mentor and mentee don't have to be in the same industry.Mentor pairings can be sought out through an established program or independently, and one-on-one meetings should take place on a consistent basis.A mentor-mentee pairing requires work, commitment, and follow-through on both sides if it's going to succeed.
