Abstract
Purpose – Many employers experiment with virtual working modes for project-based work. Virtual
internships are one such mode that is gaining increasing popularity worldwide, particularly e-internships that
require remote working with employers. However, little is known about the extent to which e-internships
present learning opportunities to such e-interns.
Design/methodology/approach – The current study examined mentoring experiences among a crosssectional
sample of 158 e-interns working for different companies. Data were collected using an online survey in
two data collection rounds.
Findings – The length of the e-internships did not increase mentoring satisfaction, but the likelihood of einterns
having a mentor was higher the longer the e-internships. Mentoring was offered irrespective of working
hours per week. Mentoring increased reported skill development, particularly in relation to their
communication skills and their ability to think strategically about problems. In addition, mentored e-interns
were more likely to have opportunities to cooperate with and help others. They likewise had opportunities to
share information, knowledge and experiences.
Research limitations/implications – The study recruited interns from various countries. Potentially
relevant cultural differences were not explored as part of this study.
Practical implications – The results demonstrate that the benefits of mentoring observed in relation to
traditional internships can be fostered in e-internships. E-internships represent an opportunity for managers
and employees, regardless of company size, to become mentors. E-internships thus represent another workintegrated
as well as work-applied learning and skill development opportunity that creates additional options
for many interns and organisations alike.
Originality/value – The evidence suggests that mentoring is becoming a regularly available feature for
virtual and temporary workers such as e-interns, many of which are hired for short-term projects. As remote
working has become a standard practice, e-internships are on the rise – and worthy of further study in order to
promote best practices.
