Our mentoring plan can start with a meeting to develop and formalize a working relationship. In the meeting, we can outline the specifics of each role and define the timelines. We will develop the overall goals and objectives, then break them down into weekly deliverables. We can meet weekly to discuss the process and any outcomes. We are happy to discuss the employee's long-term career goals and incorporate skills they would like to learn during the internship.
