Abstract

The study aims to analyze the role of e-mentoring in developing leadership skills between mentors and mentees, particularly in global environment. This research is using qualitative approach that work on a comprehensive literature development on e-mentoring platform for future leaders. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the labour market, making it difficult for young people to secure productive employment. They often lack experience, talents, and social networks, making it difficult to find suitable candidates. Informational asymmetry and limited access to resources further exacerbate these employment obstacles. A significant proportion of youth are not employed, in school, or training, resulting in diminished employment prospects and challenges in adapting to the workplace. The result shown that e-mentoring offers numerous advantages, including accessibility, professional development, and enhanced communication skills. It allows mentees to ask questions anytime, anywhere, and can be used for professional growth. E-mentoring also improves teamwork and accessibility, allowing for diverse collaboration and breaking down sociocultural barriers. However, it also presents challenges, such as ensuring proper communication and addressing cultural differences. Overall, e-mentoring offers a more accessible and effective mentoring system.
