Mentoring Young Learners: Does Everyone Really Need a Mentor?
Stead, Richard
Education + Training, v39 n6 p219-24 1997
British college students (n=414) were paired with mentors in their work placements. In many cases, learner and mentor had little contact, but learners obtained support for workplace learning from other sources. Managers were not ideal mentors. Relevant expert knowledge, formal mentoring relationships, and training of mentors were considered important. (SK)
