ABSTRACT
Drawing on eight interviews with individuals from a medical device manufacturing company HealthTech Industries (HealthTech or HTI) who have experienced workplace mentoring, Chapter 4 shows how conceptualizing investment mentoring as a mode of career-long learning can offer rhetoric and writing practitioners insights for understanding the rhetorical production and transfer of knowledge within academic and workplace contexts. After challenging a communities of practice model of learning, investment mentoring is offered as a new approach to mentoring, an approach that is self-sought, collaborative, and accessible.
