A Longitudinal Study of Work-Based, Adult-Youth Mentoring.

Linnehan, Frank

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v63 n1 p40-54 Aug 2003

High school students in formal work-based mentoring (n=15), informal workplace mentoring (n-24), no mentoring (n=23), or no employment (n-28) were compared. At year's end, formally mentored students believed more strongly in school's relevance to work. Mentored students had higher self-esteem than the unemployed. Those highly satisfied with mentoring had higher self-esteem. (Contains 42 references.) (SK)
