The “Mentor speed Date” is an educational and exciting way to bridge the gap between a student’s university career and exploration career phase, while allowing mentors a platform to give back.

The concept of mentor speed dates is not necessarily to assign a mentee to a mentor, but rather to give mentors and potential mentees the opportunity to network in a semi-informal environment.

This networking opportunity can lead to a mentor and mentee match but can also just be a platform for students to gain exclusive insight into the construction industry. It also seeks to make up for lost time due to the pandemic – students barely had the opportunity to network or meet mentors face to face.

Both the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) and The Charted Institute of Building (CIOB) have collaborated in delivering this workshop with one goal in mind: giving students an opportunity to network with industry professionals.

CIOB Students/Tomorrows leaders community will be provided with opportunities for leadership, achievement, and cultivation of ideas including mentorship, inter-university engagements and work integrated learning.

This group of diverse, ambitious and emerging professionals are proactively looking to get ahead in their career and make a difference to society through the built environment and the best place to start is through mentorship.
