COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
Mentor Protégé Program Launch!
Prince George’s County Education and Community Partners (PGCECP), Blueprint Schools Program’s design-build-maintain partner, has committed to leveraging opportunities for county residents to include MBE/CBB/CBSB contracts, workforce opportunities, internships and apprenticeships, scholarships, and community assets.
 
PGCECP, in conjunction with Prince George’s County Public Schools, is pleased to announce the launch of the Blueprint Schools Mentor Protégé Program. Through this program minority and county-based businesses have an opportunity to develop and broaden their industry skills as well as gain first-hand insight on working with Gilbane Building Company. While several business training programs exists, this program focuses on practical matters such as exactly what's needed to successfully gain and complete projects with Gilbane.
 
Eight, two-hour weekly sessions facilitated by Gilbane and other subject matter experts guide participants in developing relationships through knowledge sharing. Each session is split into two parts; the first hour is devoted to educating participants on a topic from a national perspective. The second hour consists of breakout sessions in which participants engage with Gilbane team members from Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia to cover topics from a regional perspective. 

Session topics include:
  • Introduction to Gilbane/Prequalification
  • Winning Work
  • Managing for Success
  • Mitigating Risk
  • Developing Financial Strength
  • Leveraging Technology
  • Business Development & Networking
 
Additionally, participants learn how to do business with PGCPS Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the Chief Executive Officer and Prince George's County's Board of Education's plan to fund capital projects during the fiscal year. Through the CIP, educational facilities are planned, designed, renovated and constructed based on the prioritization of needs established in the Educational Facility Master Plan (EFMP).
