CLARKSBURG, W.Va. ─ The U.S. Small Business Administration will be conducting several workshops this fall designed to demystify the government contracting process for West Virginia small business owners. Five different events will be offered from federal government contracting to how to handle cost and pricing.
“The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides numerous financial opportunities for small businesses during these trying economic times,” said Judy McCauley, Director of SBA’s West Virginia District Office. “Federal contracting can help small businesses to not only survive, but to actually flourish and expand. These training events will give small businesses an excellent introduction to Federal contracting and how to take advantage of it.”
Doing Business with the Federal Government, set for Wednesday, September 30 at the Women’s Business & Training Center in Beckley, W.Va., will walk attendees through the various contracting programs available to small businesses and will provide an overview of the certification procedure.
