How/Where to Manage the Mentoring Partnership with RiTECHS

In Person: If the mentor and mentee are located in close proximity, in person meetings are the best way to get to know each other and build your partnership.

Web Conference/Skype: Using web-based video/audio conferencing applications, several of which are free of charge, are reliable to build the mentoring partnership and provide visual in addition to audio contact.

Teleconference: Teleconferences are best once you have started your partnership, as the lack of visual contact makes for a less robust  experience.
