The mentor's role is to:
- act as a guide to, and a general point of contact with, the wider
creative industries
- promote awareness of the importance of teamwork
- provide a quality control or 'reality check' on your work
- suggest ways in which you can improve your performance from an industrial or commercial perspective.
