Q:"I often see the terms mentee and protégé used interchangeably.  Is there a difference between the terms?"

A: In addition, you will also see such terms as apprentice, intern or novice used within the context of mentoring. Some individuals feel that the word “mentee” is not a recognized English word and so choose to use the word “protégé” to describe the individual seeking to formally enhance their skills.  According to NCIEC survey results, though, the vast majority of respondents prefer the term “mentee.”
