Mentoring and Career/Professional Development: Mentoring is very critical in career and professional development. In the VEE model, mentees and mentors work together to ensure that the mentees have good understanding of various career choices within the discipline. This is followed by setting career goals, objectives and expected outcomes. Next, the mentee and the mentoring team identify the resources and tasks that will lead to the accomplishment of the career and professional development goals and outcomes. The use of practical tracking tools such as e-portfolio is highly recommended for an effective and well documented periodic assessment and continuous improvement process. Jobs and graduate/professional school placement programs are essential parts of the mentoring and career development component.
