dc.description.abstractThe aim of this paper was to argue the case for the need for mentorship of both student and newly qualified scientists in Zambia. Based on both a global perspective, this paper argues that inadequate initial training coupled with inadequate resources make mentorship of newly qualified scientists (hereafter referred to as NQSs) a necessity. Further, the paper presents numerous benefits accruing from the mentoring of students and newly qualified scientists. These benefits include benefits to the NQSs themselves, and to the nation as a whole. In view of both the identified needs of NQSs and the invaluable benefits, the paper ends with a clarion call for the introduction of mentorship of NQSs during the education and training process of students as well as mentoring of NQS in Zambian industrial settings.en
