The spirit of our mentoring program is knowledge transfer--we facilitate relationships in which a mentor with expertise in a particular discipline or competency shares her knowledge with someone seeking that expertise. Historically, mentoring consisted of a long-term relationship, spanning several years, to groom the mentee for promotion or the next level in her career, but in today's fast-paced, virtual world, the focus has shifted to help anyone gain new insights and abilities in an accelerated manner. Mentoring has become an effective development tool with more immediate impact and is expanding into the world of virtual relationships.

Mentoring Womens Network has developed a state of the art program designed to help professional women build mentoring relationships; our goal is to strengthen the skills and confidence levels of women looking to benefit professionally from the experience of our certified mentors. Our certified mentors participate in a skill-development workshop to hone their mentoring skills and ensure consistency in the format and use of tools across MWN's mentoring relationships.
