1.Professionalize mentors and help them in developing effective mentoring and networking practices in the digital transition; 2. Leverage digital technologies to give them new job opportunities; 3. Extend the mentoring guidance to a large audience of persons initiating in a professional area or needing to be re-skilled.
The goal of the e-MentEdu project was to develop new professional qualifications that would support further education and training. Business and social mentoring are valuable means for promoting staff and managers' development, especially in a transformation period. Nowadays, in order to gain a competitive advantage, an organization must simultaneously invest in both new technology and training. E-mentoring represents an opportunity for achieving this two fold objective. Consequently, mentors and aspirant mentors should be appropriately competent in using digitally-based communication and digital education concepts and practices. The e-MentEdu project provides mentors and aspirant mentors with an educational pack that includes an educational program and the educational multimedia book "The e-mentoring at work:theory and practice"
