Abstract	Youth unemployment refers to young people between the ages of 15 and 24 years who are without work, but are currently available for and actively seeking work (Youth Employment Network, 2011). Despite a mild recovery between 2009 and 2014, where the number of unemployed youth dropped by 3.3 million, finding employment is still an uphill struggle for 73.3 million youth around the world (International Labour Organization, 2015). According to the International Labour Organization (2015), it is therefore crucial that young people are provided with more opportunities to transition to a decent job. E-mentoring programmes to help address this issue began with the 'Electronic Emissary Project,' founded in 1993, enabling students and teachers to be mentored by subject-matter experts primarily via e-mail (Shpigelman, 2014, p. 260; Single & Single, 2005, p. 303). However, some research suggests that the mode of communication in e-mentoring schemes, particularly those that do not use audio or video tools, can be "cold" and impersonal, as participants cannot read body language or hear tone of voice (Ensher et al., 2003, p. 276). Therefore, the main objective of this review is to answer the question: 'does electronic mentoring improve psychological, educational, and employment outcomes among young people aged 25 or under?' (ERIC).
