Mentorship Program, an eight-month program designed to identify
and address critical business development gaps for diverse-owned
businesses to compete in a global supply chain. Through the

by 2025, business leaders are given the tools to enhance
operational efficiencies, harness financial management and elevate
leadership acumen.
