Summary: | This chapter examines networking as a career intervention. I begin by setting out the historical background, drawn from the extant literature from the 1970s to date, as a prelude to the presentation of a practical application. The purpose and nature of organizationally initiated networking as a career intervention for a minority group are explained, the models underpinning the method are articulated, and the materials and resources needed and populations involved are highlighted. I then set out a case study example to illustrate this career intervention in practice. The chapter concludes with references that act as a resource for researchers and practitioners in this field.
