The TIME programJoin us and give your time to TIME……

Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé)".

Today mentors provide expertise to less experienced individuals to help them advance their careers, enhance their education, and build their networks.

For the Mentee it is about having an experienced individual committed exclusively to your growth and development as you prepare and equip yourself for the future.

For the Mentor it is about showing leadership by giving back and using your "teachable moments" to expand the potentialities of the person you are guiding.

For the Sponsor it is about commitment and being recognized as a contributor and supporter of your industry’s future.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. Albert Pine

TIME's Mentoring Program has a number of varied benefits, however the key purpose is to develop and retain leadership potential with a view to enhancing career development and satisfaction.

A mentor should offer a range of (non-conflicting) business-skills and experience that enables them to offer advice and perspective to the Mentee.

Sharing their wisdom and support creates opportunities that may not otherwise be available to the Mentee. This includes increased visibility and possible access to networks (part of the essential communication skills) including networking with other Mentees.
