Presented By:
Title:
St. Paul Section 3 Coordinator
Business/Organization:
City of Saint Paul
Workshop Details:
Are you interested in growing your business? Did you know local cities, counties, and the State of Minnesota buys products, services, and builds to the tune of over a billion dollars every year? Furthermore, we want to buy from you, the local and small businesses in our communities! In this workshop, we will show you how you can get your foot in the door and navigate the redtape. We will also cover topics such as small, women, and minority-owned business certifications and how you can apply. Disadvantaged and minority owned businesses continue to be under-represented in all levels of government contracting, and we hope you can take advantage of this excellent opportunity to get started right away!
What You'll Learn:
How to get certified as a small/minority/women-owned business
What you need to bid on city contracts
Where to find contract opportunities
