Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work 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 sound knowledge or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to potential promise (the protege).
