Individual consultations. While comparing participation in mentoring programs with other professional development courses, the majority of respondents considered mentoring to be a better option for professional growth. They proposed a number of reasons why they would prefer to have or be a mentor to a traditional training. First of all, mentoring provides opportunity for individual work and assistance without delay. Whereas professional development courses often occur in groups and leave space for unanswered questions, mentoring allows participants to receive more individualized, custom- made, and immediate help. Xxxxxxx have a chance to access their mentors at any time and discuss any questions they might not be courageous to ask during a group work. Thus, the findings depict that mentoring is a better approach to professional development than formal training. One mentee said: Usually trainings are unilateral conversation and in most cases, questions are left without answers while individual consultation gives the chance to discuss diverse options of outcomes or any certain aspects that it is undoubtedly more effective method for me (Mentee 4). The other respondent supported this claim “I think having a mentor is more useful because this person is working with you individually, you can ask this person every time you want and this person will help you any time” (Mentee 1).
