Mentoring To Mentor: Evidence From Facultad De Contaduria Publica, Mentoring Para Mentor Par, Facultad De Contaduria Publica

This paper evaluates the Mentoring Program for students of the three offered modalities (full school attendance, part time school and on line school) in the Accounting Faculty of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP). We examine three educational programs: Bachelor in Public Accounting, Finances Direction focus on International Finances and Bachelor in Administration and Direction on Middle and Small Businesses. The research reports attrition rates in Professional Careers immersed in a public university. At the university students compromised their time on labor activities, familiar and economics with methodological study limitations and self-management of their time. These modalities are based on different student characteristics. We further report on the Institutional Mentoring program which was implemented for new students from 2014-2015. We expect a decrease in the attrition rate due to this program. Some seventy-five mentor peers, 826 mentees, a coordinator, and administrator, two certificated mentors and twelve trained mentors participated in the study
