Mentorship in internship

Mentorship is becoming more and more vital not only tot the top decision-makers but also to the young professionals, front line and middle management and students. How early we have access to the top knowledge and skills that go beyond the traditional form of education can decide how quickly we will lead a successful fulfilling career or business. Now absolute novelty becomes to include even in the internship programmes high-level mentorship service. But why mentorship is essential in our life?

Importance of mentorship

Lori Hunt beautifully explains the importance of mentorship, especially at the college level. When she enrolled in economics courses, she found herself failing classes and coming to a crossroad. Should she stay for another semester without financial aid and trying to get grades up or transfer to the Community College and finish her degree just to be done with school.

She raised a crucial question: ‘Have you ever reflected on the successes in your life and wondered who may have been there to help you along the way?’

The impact

Mentoring is so important because of the impact it can have on an individual’s life. Lori relates to studies at John Hopkins which suggest that when adults mentored young people there is an effect on the ability to prevent declining brain function.

Carla Harris explains that a mentor’s job is to give you tailored advice specific to you and to your career aspirations. Mentors are the ones who give you the good the bad and the ugly.

Save years of try and error

There is no doubt you can do a lot without a guide, but is it enough? Would you like to save years of try and error and soar on the top of your creativity as early as possible?
