I want to set up a mentorship program but how should I start?
Setting up a successful mentorship program requires a few elements. We recommend starting with the most important part, setting your program objectives, requirements, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
- What is the objective of my program?
- Who will be managing this program with access to the Manager Portal?
- Which mentors do I want to involve in the program?
- What kind of mentorship do I want to provide for my people?
- What is expected of each mentor in terms of time commitment?
- How often are mentees and mentors expected to connect?
Next, you’ll want to gather a good group of mentors and inform them of your program objectives. Once they have confirmed their participation and availability, it’s time to onboard them onto the platform.
Then you’ll want to either invite a select group of mentees to the platform or cast an open invitation. Mentorly then provides matches or recommendations of mentors to each depending on your objectives.
Along the way, it is crucial to be clear about your program objectives and expectations so that the experience for each participant is frictionless and has a lasting impact.
How long does it take to launch a program?
Mentorly can launch your custom branded portal within a few weeks time. We recommend staggering onboarding to ensure that mentors have completed profiles and availability before mentees are onboarded to create their own.
How much control will I have over my program?
As Program Manager with access to the Manager Portal, you will be able to onboard and tag users, track sign-ups and sessions, along with message users individually or as a group.
You will also be able to upload your own documentation and resources, such as a Mentor Contract, Mentoring Tips, Program Guidelines, etc.

Which devices does Mentorly work on?
