Definition
提携 is a formal verb meaning to guide and support someone, especially in their career or personal development — like a senior giving a junior a 'leg up'. It often implies a mentor–protégé relationship and is used in professional or literary contexts. The literal sense 'lead by the hand' is rare; the figurative sense is the main one.
