Supporting Small, Minority, Veteran, and Women-owned Business Enterprises
Robins & Morton’s cultural emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and leadership development guides its partnerships with diverse-owned business enterprises. We are committed to affording equal opportunity to all based upon job-relevant performance, experience, and accomplishments.
We are actively involved with the Small Business Administration (SBA) and have participated in its various programs, such as the Mentor Protégé Partnership Program, for years. Currently, Robins & Morton holds a Mentor Protégé Partnership with a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Through the Mentor Protégé Partnership and similar programs, we can help Small, Minority, Veteran, and Women-owned small business enterprises expand their footprint.
Robins & Morton participates in partnerships with small and diverse-owned businesses because their work strengthens communities and the local economy. Through our involvement in programs such as the SBA’s Mentor Protégé Partnership, we’re able to help companies gain entry and experience with larger, more complex work. These partnerships better the construction industry, producing a continuously evolving workforce, always growing in sophistication.
Outreach
We offer outreach opportunities to diverse-owned businesses in the local communities where we work. Upcoming projects in the bidding phase will be posted on BuildingConnected, with in-person and virtual meet-and-greets for interested local businesses.
