Crafting a Powerful Mentorship Program Survey: Questions That Matter

A successful mentorship program hinges on continuous improvement. A well-designed survey is crucial for gathering feedback and ensuring your program delivers real value. But simply asking for opinions isn’t enough – you need targeted questions that reveal actionable insights.

The Expert Perspective: Most mentorship program surveys focus solely on satisfaction. While important, this misses the core of what drives growth. You need to understand how the mentorship is impacting skill development, career trajectory, and overall engagement. Are mentees actively applying advice? Are mentors equipped to provide effective guidance? Are the connections fostering long-term growth, or are they purely transactional?

Actionable Steps: Survey Questions to Include

1. Impact on Goals: “To what extent has this mentorship helped you progress towards your professional goals?” (Scale of 1-5, with space for explanation).
2. Skill Development: “Identify 1-3 specific skills you’ve developed because of this mentorship.” (Open-ended).
3. Meeting Effectiveness: “How would you rate the structure and focus of your mentorship meetings?” (Scale of 1-5, with a follow-up: “What could make meetings more valuable?”).
4. Mentor Support (for Mentees): “How comfortable did you feel sharing challenges and seeking advice from your mentor?” (Scale of 1-5).
5. Program Resources: “How valuable did you find the available resources (e.g., roadmaps, community forums) in supporting your mentorship journey?” (Scale of 1-5).

Why Menteo Elevates Mentorship Beyond Surveys

Surveys provide retrospective data. They tell you what happened, but not why. True growth requires ongoing support and accountability. That’s where Menteo’s approach to mentorship differs.

Unlike traditional networks focused on simply booking a mentor, or platforms offering one-off advice, Menteo fosters social mentorship. We combine structured 1:1 Mentorship Rooms with the power of public accountability through Growth Threads. Mentees document their progress, share learnings, and receive feedback from both their mentor and a supportive community.

Furthermore, Menteo provides curated Roadmaps to guide your growth journey, and access to relevant Communities and Resources. This holistic approach means you’re not just receiving advice, you’re actively applying it, iterating, and building a visible track record of progress. A survey can tell you if someone feels more confident, but Menteo helps them become more capable.
