How much time does a mentoring partnership take?
No two mentoring partnerships are identical regarding the amount of time invested. The frequency and duration of meetings is largely a factor of the mentee objectives balanced against the schedules and availability of the mentoring partners. Successful mentoring requires time. We recommend approximately 3-5 hours of mentoring activity per month. However, we do stress that the work assigned takes first priority and the Mentoring Program is not to be used as an excuse for missing a deadline or neglecting a project.
