It's a very good distinction to make.

Since training budgets have been reduced, mentoring is a low-cost alternative for organisations. Companies have the option to use technology to easily set up mentoring programmes and match well mentors to mentees. We have seen in the USA a great interest in mentoring, hopefully we will see the same within organisations in the UK.
