Construction Mentorship Program

Attendees at an MWBE workshop

We educate and mentor NYC-certified MWBE construction firms, providing greater access to City construction opportunities. 

Enrolled firms receive a customized curriculum of classroom instruction on topics related to construction and business management, one-on-one assistance and mentorship from an experienced construction project manager, and a business assessment and customized growth plan to help them grow their businesses. The program also provides MWBEs with access to contracting opportunities through our Prequalified List.  This program is supplemented by existing workshops, technical assistance, and business services, including financing assistance, already provided by SBS.
