I didn't get the job; but was offered a potential mentor?

It was for an entry level Vulnerability Management position that I really wanted. The interview went by well. I waited two weeks later and received a call earlier that they decided to move with someone else however...

The director was/is impressed with my resume and would like to offer being a mentor, keep me on their plate for a future position and a little more.

The director will send me an email sometime (not exactly sure when on both ends) …
