Abstract
This study explores the role of mentorship and knowledge transfer in enhancing the Quantity Surveying profession, focusing on Population size of 196. It highlights the challenges posed by generational gaps, the absence of formal mentorship programs, and difficulties in transferring tacit knowledge. The research aims to assess the impact of mentorship on skill development, innovation, and operational excellence within the field. Using Yaro Yamane's formula to determine sample size, data were gathered to evaluate the benefits and strategies for effective mentorship. The findings reveal that structured mentorship programs significantly contribute to the professional growth of Quantity Surveyors by fostering continuous learning and adaptation. The study concludes that embracing formalized mentorship initiatives is crucial for ensuring sustainable development and growth in the industry. It recommends that organizations adopt these programs and leverage digital tools to enhance knowledge sharing and mentorship across all levels.
