Tools for Mentees

Tools for Mentees

Tools to communicate expectations and request accountability in mentorship:

Individual development plan

An individual development plan helps the mentee to think through their short-
medium- and long-term career plans and to discuss with their mentor how to enact
these plans.

Mentorship compacts

A mentorship compact enables mentors and mentees to outline the expectations
and commitments in their interaction.

insights on strengthening the mentoring network.
