Mentorship

The SMPS Philadelphia Mentor/Protégé Program is an exclusive benefit for current SMPS members designed to help you grow, connect, and thrive in the dynamic A/E/C industry. Running from October through May, this program pairs marketing and business development professionals at all career stages to share knowledge, exchange insights, and provide support as you navigate your professional journey.

Participants are thoughtfully matched with a mentor or protégé based on experience, goals, and interests. You’ll have the flexibility to meet one-on-one either in person or virtually, making it easy to stay connected no matter your schedule.

In addition to your individual meetings, you’ll join monthly virtual group sessions with all program participants to provide you with opportunities to learn from a wider network of peers and industry leaders. There is also a program-end event where current, past, and future program members can learn, meet and network. 

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, explore new career opportunities, or give back to the profession by guiding others, the SMPS Philadelphia Mentor/Protégé Program offers a supportive, flexible environment to help you succeed!
