Chestnut Hill, MA (PRWEB) August 4, 2007 -- Companies looking for a comprehensive, user-friendly online training tool for participants in their mentoring programs now have an e-learning solution to assist them. Mentoring University's MMentE-Learning is a web-based training tool developed by Management Mentors, a full-service training and consulting firm that specializes in mentoring programs. The tool streamlines and simplifies the process of training individuals within organizational mentoring programs by delivering a comprehensive, user-friendly online solution that mentors and mentorees can access anytime, anywhere.

The first course to be launched by Mentoring University is Mentoring Success: Maximizing Your Mentoring Experience. Mentoring Success lessons include Formal and Informal Mentoring; Distinguishing Between Compatibility and Chemistry; How Mentoring and Coaching Differ; Managing Expectations; Mentoring Relationship Stages; Communicating Effectively in a Mentoring Relationship; and Diversity and Mentoring. Participants can take one lesson at a time or devote the time to take the entire course in one sitting. Targeted quizzes after each lesson reinforce the tools and techniques covered

Effective mentoring programs require comprehensive training for both mentors and mentorees so that both individuals in the relationship fully understand their roles and responsibilities, how the relationship will flow and how to set realistic, clear expectations

Mentoring Success can be used as a supplement to classroom mentoring training sponsored by the organization; as a standalone mentoring training course; as a refresher course; as a supplement to management training for those wishing to enhance their mentoring skills; or as a training program for individuals who are not part of an organizational mentoring program but who have entered or are considering entering a mentoring relationship.

MMentE-Learning's creation is based on over 17 years of best practice experience established by Rene Petrin, president of Management Mentors. Rene, a pioneer in the mentoring field, has developed leading edge programs such as MMentPro, a web-based software solution for mentoring program management, and Mentoring University, the only organization that provides mentoring certification.

Mentoring Success is the first in a series of courses that Mentoring University will release on a range of topics including mentoring relationships, finding a mentor, and mentoring dynamics.
"Effective mentoring programs require comprehensive training for both mentors and mentorees so that both individuals in the relationship fully understand their roles and responsibilities, how the relationship will flow and how to set realistic, clear expectations," states Mr. Petrin. "MMentE-Learning simplifies the training process by allowing participants to train on their own time, at their own pace. And our first course is rich with information that will help mentors and mentorees have the most successful mentoring experience."
