What partners say

In their words.

Workforce Development
MentorPRO isn't just another mentoring software tool. It's a blueprint for how to do everything right.

CEO, Step Up
Workforce Development
MentorPRO is like a box that we have all been wanting to see into so we can see how genuine relationships, mentorships, connections, and social capital are built and maintained in real time.

Workforce Development
The start-up support, evidence-based training, and ongoing expert success coaching included in our annual licensing fee are better than what we received from Chronus, and the price is more competitive.

Case studies

How workforce and career programs run mentoring on MentorPRO, in their own numbers.

Kaufman County Mentoring ProgramKaufman County Mentoring ProgramKaufman County, Texas

Kaufman County put its youth mentoring on one platform: mentors and mentees exchanged 3,441 messages in six months.

We needed software to help us communicate between our mentors and mentees. We knew it wasn't going to be possible to see the mentees and mentors daily, so this app has made it all possible. When I bring the mentees on board, I let them know about the MentorPRO Academy, which is a bonus I didn't know we were getting. I like that I can see all the engagement. We love the Tasks tab. It's great for sending the mentees links about their situations. The mentors send the links and ask them a variety of questions. I love watching the mentees and mentors build a relationship. The mentors contact the parents for some face-to-face fun time with their mentees. MentorPRO is a safe space for the mentees to feel free to express what is going on with them. I believe it helps them to know someone is here to listen. MentorPRO is literally bridging the gap.
