Mentoring is a way of transferring skills and knowledge from a knowledgeable person to a person who is in need of guidance. In today’s world mentoring has become one of the prominent ways of learning. Usually traditional mentoring programs will involve one person guiding a group of students (mentees). Our system is designed to connect Mentor and Mentee where there will be one to one interaction. Rather than learning without proper guidance, mentee can learn from mentor as he will share information about his career path, provide guidance and also helps with exploring career and setting goals. The responsibility of a mentor is to showcase the possibilities to the students and to guide them on respective possible outcomes. Mentor Connector is a web based application which is developed to improve the performance of the students by assisting mentors to understand mentees problems. This application connects more people compared to traditional face-to-face mentoring system. If a person wants guidance from any mentor he can search through this web application and select the mentor of his choice present in any corner of the world. This system mainly enables the mentors to concentrate effectively on each and every student assigned to them. Scheduling future meetings is also easier.
