Peer Mentoring Programs: Do the Mentors Benefit Too? An Exploration of Peer Mentoring and Future Job Search from the Peer Mentors Perspective

Public Deposited

The purpose of this research study is to understand whether the peer mentoring experience benefits the peer mentors as it does those who are being mentored. The research seeks to understand whether traits in the peer mentoring program align with the traits employers are looking for in recent graduates. The study also seeks to understand what motivates students to become peer mentors. Finally, the research identifies which experiences peer mentors believe will be necessary for their future careers. The analysis uses a Phenomenological approach to explore the peer mentoring experience from the peer mentors’ perspective.
