October 27 is National Mentoring Day — a “global celebration of mentoring,” according to the association behind the holiday. It seeks to amplify mentoring initiatives and provide a globally reaching voice to inspire mentorship.  

“Working together through collaboration and connection is critical to support all sectors of business, charities, non-profits, education, and society. This means unprecedented levels of mentoring are urgently needed,” the organization, with the same name as the holiday, said on its website.

Experts and studies alike have also emphasized the importance of mentorship in retention and in building a company culture based on learning and development.
