Mentor FAQ

What's the time commitment?

Approximately 4 hours per week: 1-2 hours for mentorship sessions and 2-3 hours providing project guidance and feedback.

Do I pay the student's salary?

Yes, mentors pay students directly through the ProspectForge platform at an hourly rate. The platform handles all payment processing, tax documentation, and administrative logistics so you can focus on the mentorship relationship.

What if the match isn't working?

We provide a 30-day adjustment period with mandatory check-ins at weeks 2 and 4. If compatibility issues arise, we offer mediation support and can facilitate new mentor-student matches. Both parties have clear procedures for respectful exits, with fair compensation for work completed.

What support do mentors receive?

Mentors receive onboarding guidance, access to our mentor community for sharing best practices, and ongoing platform support for relationship management. We also provide structured frameworks for effective mentorship and problem-solving collaboration.

How do you ensure quality students?

Students go through a comprehensive application process including skills assessments, problem-solving demonstrations, and compatibility matching. We focus on finding motivated students who can adapt quickly and communicate effectively, not just academic credentials.

How long do mentorship relationships last?

Mentorships typically run 6-12 months, allowing time for meaningful skill development, relationship building, and real career impact. This extended timeline enables students to take on increasingly complex projects while mentors see substantial business value.

What's the typical hourly rate for students?

Hourly rates vary based on project complexity and student experience level, typically ranging from $25-50/hour. The platform provides rate guidance based on project scope and market standards.
