This chapter explores by considering mentoring approach as a channel to foster SEL skills that would be beneficial to both adult learners and educators alike.

Two main types of mentoring have been addressed, viz the traditional mentoring versus alternative mentoring approach. The chapter also discusses about incorporating the train-the-trainer model for mentoring. In essence, this SEL-based adult mentoring ensures that both mentees and mentors benefit. The mentees have gained self-awareness, responsible decision-making skills, relationship skills and emotional intelligence through this mentoring approach, while the mentors have acquired a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that promotes their emotional intelligence and decision-making skills.
