LinkedIn is testing a new, free service that matches users with potential mentors

LinkedIn is testing a new feature that will help users find potential mentors and mentees, Fast Company reports.

The free service is only available to some users right now, but it will be available to all LinkedIn users by the end of the summer, a LinkedIn representative told Fast Company.

Here’s how it will work:

• There will be a place on your profile called “your dashboard,” where you can access the “career advice hub.”

• You sign up to be a mentor or a mentee.

• You give some detail about who you’d like to connect with, for example in terms of industry or school, and what kind of advice you’d like to give or receive.
