대학에서의 직업교육 활성화를 위한 멘토링 시스템 모형 개발

Abstract

이 연구에서 다룬 멘토링(Mentoring)은 대학생 개개인들이 원활하게 직업세계로 이행하도록 돕기 위한 적극적인 지원 프로그램이다. 일정한 영역에서 전문적인 지식이나 경험을 가지고 있는 멘토와 실제적인 경험이 부족한 멘티와의 개별화된 상호관계를 통해서 대학생들은 졸업하기 이전에 지식과 기술, 태도를 스스로 개발할 수 있는 기회를 가진다. 이러한 멘토링 프로그램을 통해 대학생들은 새로운 전문가로서 현장, 직업, 조직에 대한 이해를 넓힐 수 있고 조직의 규정이나 관습 및 문화 등을 익힐 수 있다.
