==What is mentoring? ==
 
Mentoring is the practice of advising or guiding someone on their professional journey. This can be done traditionally by a leader or expert in a specific field.
 
Reverse mentoring is also a valuable approach to mentoring. Reverse mentoring is an employee newer to the workforce  teaching a more experienced/senior professional or leader topics such as new technology, software, social media and current trends.
 
 
 
Why is mentoring important for young professionals in a virtual environment?
 
Traditional mentoring has its limits. Professionals don’t always have the time and patience to deal with coordinated matches and
 
training sessions. They want access to a more flexible form of mentoring. The world of work is changing . More and more, organizations are looking for
 
secure digital solutions to support individuals in their professional integration.
