Mentorship Programs
2027 Mentorship 1.0 & 2.0 Programs
Calling All Mentors & Mentees!
Toronto CREW’s Mentorship Program connects members across career stages through meaningful, one-on-one mentoring relationships designed to support professional growth, leadership development and stronger connections within the commercial real estate community.
For 2027, Mentorship 1.0 and Mentorship 2.0 will run concurrently, offering two distinct streams tailored to participants at different stages of their careers. Selected mentees will be matched with one mentor and are expected to participate in monthly one-on-one mentoring conversations from February through December 2027, supported by program events and resources with regular check-ins from the Mentorship committee throughout the year.
1.0 Program - Building Strong Career Foundations
Designed for Toronto CREW members with approximately 1–5 years of commercial real estate experience, Mentorship 1.0 supports early-career professionals as they build confidence, broaden their industry perspective and navigate the next stage of their careers.
Mentees have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, gain perspective beyond their immediate roles and develop a stronger understanding of career paths and opportunities within commercial real estate.
Mentors should bring 10+ years of industry experience and a genuine interest in sharing their knowledge, perspective and guidance with emerging professionals.
2.0 program - Advancing Leadership and Career Growth
Designed for professionals with approximately 8+ years of commercial real estate experience, Mentorship 2.0 provides a more focused mentoring experience for members navigating career progression, leadership opportunities, professional transitions or broader industry ambitions.
The program creates space for thoughtful conversations around leadership, career strategy, influence, professional visibility and navigating increasingly complex career decisions.
Mentors should bring 15+ years of industry experience, along with a willingness to support experienced professionals as they continue to develop and expand their impact within the industry.
