Within the virtual mentoring platform, there is a survey feature available for gathering valuable insights from mentors and mentees participating in your program. This feature serves as a powerful tool to collect feedback and evaluate the effectiveness of your mentoring initiatives. Additionally, the survey feature can be leveraged to create quizzes specifically designed for mentoring activities within the dedicated "Courses" section. By incorporating surveys into your program, you can gather essential data, enhance engagement, and ensure a more comprehensive understanding of the mentoring experience.
