Lifelong learning has become a cornerstone of professional development in a rapidly changing world. Mentoring plays a critical role in supporting adults on this journey. In adult education, mentoring fosters a supportive environment where students can build confidence and navigate challenges with guidance from experienced individuals. This relationship not only enhances skill acquisition and knowledge retention but also promotes self-directed learning and long-term engagement. By integrating mentoring into adult education frameworks, institutions can empower learners to remain adaptable, curious, and resilient throughout their lives. Fostering Lifelong Learning Through Mentoring in Adult Education explores the powerful relationship between mentorship and adult education. This book offers an understanding of implementing mentorship in adult education. Covering topics such as adult education, learning styles, and mentoring, this book is an excellent resource for educators, mentors, and institutions striving to facilitate lifelong learning.
