What is the Mentor Protégé Program?

The Mentor-Protégé Program was developed to grant incentives to large prime contractors (mentors) to provide developmental assistance to small, disadvantaged businesses (protégés). Eligible small business participants have since been expanded to include HUBZone certified, Women owned, Veteran owned and Service Disabled Veteran owned. Through this agreement, mentors are able to create meaningful relationships with emerging small businesses and protégés benefit from the valuable expertise and experience that the mentor has to offer.
