I've heard recently of 'mentoring' and 'e-mentoring', what are these?
Many young people today need extra support to achieve their full potential. Mentoring is one way business volunteers can make a difference through being a positive role model to help raise aspirations, broaden horizons and prepare young people for the world of work.
