Abstract

Corporate mentorship programs serve as a vital bridge between academia and the business world,
facilitating the development of soft and emotional skills essential for career success. This paper explores
the multifaceted benefits of such programs, including their role in career development, their ability to
bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, and their impact on building
networks and connections. Through case studies and best practices, we examine how organizations can
effectively implement, structure, and evaluate mentorship initiatives to maximize their impact on both
employees and businesses
