Abstract

On the practical side action or engaged learning requires substantial support to ensure high quality, measurable outcomes in an acceptable time frame. The University of Western Sydney is expanding its stable of engagement based awards with a Key Program in Enterprise Management. A major component of the key program will be the Young Achievement Australia Business Skills Program. This paper undertakes a reflective examination of the role of the mentor and the process of mentoring. Accepting pedagogically that learning is a lifelong, often interactive, process where the 'teacher' can also learn from the 'student' the paper takes a mentor perspective in examining the pitfalls, solutions and learning that takes place in the mentor- mentee partnership.
