Mentorship is a recognized method for encouraging professional development. Recent research shows that the best run companies have a diverse mix of talented employees. With this in mind, Qualcomm believes it is vital to retain and continue to facilitate the growth of professionals by augmenting the existing tools and skills they have in order for them to continue to be successful.
This toolkit is a resource available to organizations to help promote mentoring by providing customized program design, learning activities, and content.
