Supporting Women in Business: The Role of Mentorship

It is widely accepted that mentorship can be a key driver of success for women in the workplace, however the experiences of mentees has not been fully explored. Further to this, mentorship of female university students keen to enter into leadership positions while growing is still an area lacking in development and therefore guidance surrounding such programmes is limited. Following a group of female university students engaged with a Women in Business mentorship programme this study will use 3 stage interviews to explore the mentorship experience and its perceived value from the perspective of the mentees. Findings will be used to develop guidance principles towards a process for mentorship programmes for use at educational establishments.
