“…The study averred that this positive effect of mentoring on students' venture creation abilities manifested in their expressed preference for entrepreneurship at "some time" in their lives. Corroborating this assertion, Berinsterova (2020) contended that apart from influencing the formation of psychosocial and emotional attributes of students, mentoring also contribute to the acquisition of practice-based knowledge which aids the formation of entrepreneurial instincts by university students. Sansone et al (2021) analysed the role of mentorship in inspiring student-led entrepreneurial organisations in stimulating the entrepreneurial intention of university students.…”

PurposeThis study investigates the impact of mentoring on real estate students' entrepreneurial intentions with a focus on Nigeria, an emerging African economy. Specifically, the study assessed the influence of mentoring on the entrepreneurial intentions and career preferences of real estate students and analysed the influence of having a real estate mentor on the respondents' perception of the motivators and inhibitors to their entrepreneurial intentions.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a descriptive research approach using closed-ended questionnaires. The study population comprise final year real estate students selected from three federal universities offering Real Estate in southwest Nigeria. Total enumeration was adopted for the study. From a total population of 231 students, a response rate of 69.26%, representing 160 questionnaire were retrieved and found suitable for the analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were employed for data analysis.FindingsThe result shows that the factor structure of the motivators for students who have real estate mentors clustered into four constructs; in order of influence are personal fulfilment/satisfaction, flexibility/financial motives, mentoring/economic influences and personal preferences/prestige and status. Meanwhile, economic/independence, personal preference/fulfilment, financial motives/self-perception and mentoring were the factor clusters influencing intention for real estate enterprise by students who have no real estate mentor. Predominant debacles across both categories of respondents relate to the lack of support and market uncertainty.Practical implicationsThere is a growing body of knowledge exploring the linkages between mentoring and the development of entrepreneurial intentions. However, scant empirical investigations have examined the impact of mentoring on real estate students, especially from the perspectives of emerging markets which are usually characterised by low economic opportunities and where issues of graduate unemployment appear endemic and yet to be appropriately resolved.Originality/valueThis study explores the implications of mentoring on the entrepreneurial intentions of real estate students' from the perspective of an emerging market.

“…Student mentoring is an important aspect of students' development that is required to achieve basic skill for nation building. Research on undergraduate has reinstated the significance of mentoring as positive and basic knowledge acquirement towards students' empowerment (Seymour et al, 2009;Marianna Berinšterová., 2020). The knowledge that abides in industrial mentoring of students cannot be substantiated via class learning.…”

“…Academic institutions have attempted to alleviate some of these difficulties by offering increased access to mental health services (Nash, 2021) [24].] C. Berinsterova suggested most institutions provide some sort of mentoring (Berinšterová, 2021), which is a means of intervention that has proven to be beneficial when addressing crises like this (Kaufman et al, 2021).…”

The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in increased levels of fear, stress, and depression, affecting multiple groups, including university students, who have to also address the fear of not completing their studies due to the various lockdown measures. Mentoring has been identified as an effective solution addressing academic requirements. This work aims to study the extent of the effect of COVID-19 on vulnerable university students and how a mentoring plan may mitigate the situation, while covering the literature gap on the studied subject in Greece. The study protocol incorporates a section dedicated to reviewing the anxiety/repression levels of students after the pandemic, using the Duke Anxiety-Depression scale. The results suggested that female participants expressed higher levels of fear and depression than male participants, as a result of the pandemic. The noted depression levels might be directly attributed to being afraid and stressed due to COVID-19, and indirectly to increased anxiety. This work accentuates the impact of the intricate connections between factors such as anxiety and stress on the appearance of depression and how they can affect strategies intending to address this disorder. These findings underline the importance of a mentor in defining the research route of their mentee and the general significance of mentoring.
