The Importance of Mentorship
Mentorship is not a new concept, and it has been around for centuries in different forms. The word 'mentorship' is derived from the name of a trusted counsellor in Homer's Odyssey, named Mentor, who was tasked with guiding Odysseus' son, Telemachus. In ancient Greece, mentors would guide and train young men in various fields, including politics, philosophy, and military tactics.
In medieval times, apprenticeships were a form of mentorship, where a skilled craftsman would take on an apprentice and teach them the tricks of the trade.
During the Renaissance, master artists would mentor young apprentices in their workshops, teaching them the techniques and styles of their art.
Even today, mentorship is an integral part of education, career development, and entrepreneurship.
