New Delhi [India], Feb. 6 (ANI): JobsForHer (JFH), a connecting portal that enables women on a professional break to restart their careers, launched its exclusive Mentorship Board - MentorForHer for women relaunching their careers. The online Mentorship Board includes some of the most prominent experts from multifarious industries across India. The concept of mentorship has been highly regarded by people across the world since ancient times.
