Mentoring has proved to be an effective method for career and leadership development, and for helping more people enter the labour market. The method differs depending on the target group, and when this project started there was no network where different models could be discussed and further developed.

Thus, the project aimed to establish such a network – primarily to develop knowledge about mentoring and to disseminate and share methods, but also to document the already existing knowledge. A joint seminar meeting for Nordic actors was held in autumn 2014 and the network was officially launched in spring 2015.
