Abstract

This chapter aims to: discuss the complexities involved in mentoring and networking for women; identify how mentoring and networking can be advantageous in supporting women’s careers and aid women in terms of career development and progression; and illustrate how women may be disadvantaged in the workplace, due to a gender divide in terms of access to mentors, female role models, and appropriate networking opportunities. These issues are especially issues for women working in male dominated occupations and industries.
