    Uploaded by

    Valhar
    This document outlines expectations for mentee/mentor relationships. It provides worksheets for mentees and mentors to rank their priorities and expectations. Mentees hope to gain encouragement, challenge themselves, and learn how to operate among peers. They want to discuss career options and networking with their mentor. Mentors should initially be directive but let mentees work independently, challenge them, and help them network. Both agree to keep conversations private and not meet alone behind closed doors.
