    A mentor provides career and psychosocial support to a mentee through various stages of their relationship. There are two primary functions of mentoring - career-related guidance and psychosocial support. The relationship progresses from an initiation stage where the pair is matched and explores working together, to a cultivation stage where the mentee learns from the mentor's expertise, to a separation stage where the relationship transitions but both individuals may take on mentoring roles with others. Effective mentoring relationships require clear expectations and boundaries from both individuals.
