Why take part?
The BIEE sees mentoring as a protected professional relationship where one individual (the mentor) offers to use their own skills, knowledge and experience to help provide professional development guidance to another individual (the mentee). Mentoring can be beneficial for both the mentors and mentees. Mentoring encourages professional and personal growth helping to expand your knowledge and skill set.
