2024 March 28 - Tailored Mentorship release

1. Introducing Tailored Mentorship.

   • Why you may want to use this?

     • Our innovative system not only identifies skill gaps with pinpoint accuracy but also respects personal matching preferences to find a suitable Mentor, ensuring a custom fit that feels right.

     • The Precision Pairing Feature harnesses the power of an intelligent matching algorithm, bridging the gap between mentor expertise and mentee ambition, crafting the perfect mentor-mentee partnerships like never before.

   • Functional changes included to complement the Mentorship release

     • Actions (Action Plan) are now able to be created without the need to assign a skill to the Action. The actions could consist of a descriptions only.

       • Confirmation is required that the Action was intended not to have a skill

       • We suggest that a suitable Action type (e.g. Other) is provided to be associated with such Actions

     • Manage Relationships (Admin)

       • Mentor Relationships are able to be Removed via Manage Relationships

         • They are currently established via the mentor acceptance process only.
