Abstract

The following paper traces a pilot mentoring project funded by Research Autism and implemented by London South Bank University. First, a background to the project is given before providing an overview of the wider role of mentoring. Next, discussion follows regarding the mentoring role in the specific contexts of both higher education and employment. The article then reviews the role of the mentor within the auspices of the Cygnet Mentoring Project, and the process of their engagement, training and work with the mentee. Following this, the mentee responds by detailing their experiences of the project and reflecting on their progress towards their goals. Finally, there is exploration of the mentor-mentee match, the effectiveness of this mentoring process, and discussion of any gaps or areas for additional research.
