Mentoring and Networking Strategies in Educational Settings

Mentoring has been long used in efforts to raise rates of student retention and to promote educational achievement. However, business administration, technology and science are all areas in which a high percentage of people are involved, but very few women or individuals from visible minorities occupy leading or executive positions.

In response to this trend, programmes using mentoring and/or networking are being designed and implemented to create new opportunities for entire groups of people.
