Whether you are starting a new job, contemplating a professional decision or simply learning best tips and tricks to your job, mentorship plays a crucial role in any professional’s development at all stages of your career, as learning never stops. In fact, in work environment mentees are promoted five times more often than those that do not have mentors, and mentors themselves are six times more likely to be promoted. Even further, mentorship will continue to play a vital role in the modernization of the workforce as 75% of the workforce will be comprised of millennials by 2025 and 79% of millennials consider mentorship as crucial to their own career success.
