Types of Mentorships[edit | edit source]

Teacher: teacher provides new knowledge to the learner. The learner absorbs the knowledge and then applies it to their profession as applicable.[2]

Therefore, virtual mentorship can provide access to national and/or international mentors. Whether mentorship is in-person or virtual, mentoring can happen one on one, in groups, or as a team.
