In this model, learners needing a skill or competency are connected with those members who already have that competency. These “mentors” can opt in to provide feedback and advice to these learners. In fact, studies have shown that the millennial generation highly values the mentor/mentee relationship, and this model could encourage more millennials to join an association.
