About the Mentorship Program

A mentorship program is vital to the continued growth of the Public Works profession as it facilitates the transfer of knowledge and experience from seasoned professionals to emerging talents. Through mentorship, younger professionals gain access to valuable insights, practical skills, and industry networks that are essential for their professional development.

Please read the Mentorship Handbook linked below to better understand the Program’s goals and the role of a mentor or mentee. Then use the Application link to apply to be both a mentor and mentee.
