Founded in 2023, the ABC San Diego Chapter (ABCSD) Young Professionals Mentorship Program is a free benefit for ABC San Diego members created to support the next generation of construction leaders. The program connects emerging professionals with industry leaders and peers in a collaborative environment focused on mentorship, relationship-building, and career development.
Participants receive guidance, support, and encouragement as they work toward their personal and professional goals. Through the program, mentees are paired with experienced mentors who serve as trusted advisors and sources of inspiration.
The 2026 program runs from May through November, and mentee applications close May 11, 2026. We invite you to be part of a program designed to help build your future in the construction industry.
ABCSD’s Young Professionals (YP) program aims to shape the future of our industry by supporting the growth of young professionals employed by ABC members. The program creates opportunities for young leaders to build relationships, expand their skills and advance their careers while continuing to promote open competition and the merit shop philosophy.
Young Professionals
Mentoring is a special partnership between two people or group based on commitment to the mentoring process, common goals/expectations of partnership, and mutual trust and respect. Mentoring is a “get and give” relationship with the goal of providing both partners with rich, rewarding experiences.
As a mentee in our program, you will be paired with an experienced mentor who will serve as your trusted advisor, sounding board, and source of inspiration. In addition, you will meet regularly to discuss your challenges, opportunities, and aspirations and to receive feedback, advice, and encouragement.
Whether you are seeking to advance your career, start a business, or pursue other personal or professional aspirations, our program can help you get there. We are confident you will benefit from participating.
Each of our mentors were hand-selected for their depth of experience and contributions to their company and ABC San Diego. All of our mentors have a minimum of 15 years of experience in their field and hold positions of influence within their company or industry.
Join the Program
Mentee applications close May 11, 2026. If you miss the cutoff date, contact us and we will try to accommodate.
The information on your application will be used by the Young Professionals Committee to match you with a mentor.
