Why would you establish a mentoring program for your employees?
Joyceagee
Mentoring pairs an experienced person with the less experienced one. This eases the tension and anxiety of learning a new position or a new way of doing things.
The Protege has a single person to go to with their problems or concerns which makes it much more likely for them to ask the question in the first place.
It has been shown to shorten new employee training and fitting in with their new position and company by half.
Mentoring not only trains the specifics of a job, but introduces them into the workplace community as well.
People who get this advantage tend to do better and stay in their job longer than those who don't

No. TIP exists to prepare contributors to become Supervisors, not provide a crash course to existing Supervisors.

The Mentoring Program is headed by Jsarino and Ganderton.
Are there any disadvantages to the WikiAnswers' Mentoring Program?
The Mentoring Program is full of positives.New Supers getGuidance for the Super Communitysomeone to answer their questionsSomeone to help when problems ariseA person to talk to.Someone that tells you why as well as how.I can't think of one thing that would be a disadvantage of the Mentoring Program. Both protege and mentor help each other, sometimes the protege will ask us a question that we don't know which makes us find the answer and "we learn too", it's great! We also learn from our mistakes both proteges and mentors which helps us remember and understand how the tools work. When you realize the mistakes you are making or were making that is an advantage to everyone here on Wiki.The disadvantages are:You realize just how many mistakes you were making before having completed the mentoring program!
What is the WikiAnswers Mentoring Program all about?
WikiAnswers Mentoring ProgramThe WikiAnswers Mentoring Program is designed to help newly appointed supervisors learn about WikiAnswers and how to use their Super Powers. The purpose of the program is to provide the best way possible for those who are starting out as supervisors to learn all they would like and need to know in order to supervise effectively. To accomplish those goals, every newly appointed supervisor is notified about the program and is invited to have a mentor. Those who accept the invitation, are paired with an experienced supervisor who has demonstrated knowledge of the site and is proficient in the use of the superpowers. The mentor contacts the protege, either by leaving a message on the message board or by email. Once the protege replies, mentoring begins!Our Mentoring Program is special in that we strive to meet the needs of individual Proteges. We realize that all Proteges have the same needs and learning style, so if what is wanted is someone to answer questions and lend a hand if one is needed, we can do that. On the other hand, if a Protege wants to learn by being led step-by-step through the use of the Super Powers, we can do that, too! We are truly an individualized instruction program!Once the protege becomes proficient at using superpowers and has gained knowledge of the site, graduating is discussed. Though the mentor may suggest graduating, the final decision to advance from the program to being "on your own" is left up to the protege. Graduation does not mean that the mentor just goes away! They continue to help and answer questions whenever asked.Those who have graduated from the Mentoring Program will certainly tell you that it's the way to go!

While it IS possible that celebrities visit and CAN answer questions, Answers.com does not have any "Secret Celebrity Club". A celebrity would simply be another member...or even a Supervisor if the person went through the mentoring program.
