Abstract: Abstract Needs are defined as “a requirement,” or “a lack of something wanted or deemed necessary” (Dictionary.com,n.d.). A needs assessment then involves a process for determining that requirement or the something that is wanted. The process is also labeled a gap analysis, a performance analysis, and a needs analysis (Watkins, Meiers, & Visser, 2012). I will examine the ways in which a needs assessment can be used to assess and build mentoring and developmental relationships and then to support such relationships. Furthermore, that assessment can then lead to recommendations for building additional mentoring and developmental relationships. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research.
