Hi Mbephr,
Training is when a person knows what to do but their skills need enhancement. For example, a salesman may undergo training to learn better selling techniques.
Counselling is for when a person has a problem and cannot deal with it or does not know how to manage it. For example, a person may get stressed at work.
Mentoring is for when a person needs help, advice, and guidance. For instance, when a person is promoted to the position of a Manager but requires additional skills such as leadership.
I hope the above information helps.

Hello Mpebhr,
A good explanation has been posted by Mr. Harsh.
Let me try to add my understanding.
TRAINING
It is given to persons for improving performances in their existing job OR when they have to learn new skills.
Examples
Workmen attending programs on topics like First Aid, Firefighting, SAP.
COUNSELLING
To help a person overcome a difficult decision-making situation.
Examples
Helping students choose the Branch/College before taking up Engineering.
Patients under illness/medication require counseling to recuperate them.
Someone whose performance had not been good in the previous year needs counseling.
MENTORING
Usually the process an in-house guide/guru sets between him and the Mentee.
Examples
A Mentor is mostly a senior person (in age or by position) in an organization.
A Mentee is the beneficiary who is guided by a Mentor.
The process is Mentoring.
The job of the Mentor is to make the Mentee a team member very quickly.
For the Mentee, Mentor is the GO-TO-MAN to get solutions to counter the difficulties faced by him in an organization.

Hi Mpbehr,
You already have a few responses to your query.
I am now giving you a different response, you need to read this carefully and let me know if it makes sense to you.This advise was given to me by David Walkden, of Quality Skills Group.
Mentoring most of the time is listening to people, building two relationships, the first is a business relationship the second a personal relationship. You wear only one hat a and you make it clear which hat you are wearing, (if you know about the 7 hats then this will make sense). Having listened you repeat back your understanding and ask “ do you think I understand?”
Sometimes you can give advice immediately and get them to put it into practice immediately or agree a time frame. Or you may ask them to give you some time to provide all the options in writing.
Mentoring teaches life skills, interpersonal skills and business skills. All these must have solid foundations never of the cuff stuff. The mentor must appear to be a master in the subject.
You need to have a background in people management and be completely confidential and able to build confidence and to motivate the person you are mentoring.
Mentoring is not book knowledge but speaking from life experience.
Best regards,
