GAP ANALYSIS:

We found a few resources for managers, targeted at standing up a mentorship program and being an effective manager-mentor. However, we could not find any resources for mentees to help them get the most out of their mentorship experience. We also could not find resources that help employees identify and reach out to potential mentors outside of a formal agency program.
