A mentorship is a relationship between people where the individual with more experience, knowledge, and connections is able to pass along what they have learned to a more junior individual within a certain field. The mentor benefits because they are able to lead the future generation in an area they care about and ensure that best practices are passed along; meanwhile, the mentee benefits because they have proven that they are ready to take the next step in their career and can receive the extra help needed to make that advancement.
