“We want to reach as many small businesses and entrepreneurs as we can and our Virtual Training Initiative is a perfect way to expand our outreach efforts in rural West Virginia,” said Judy McCauley, director of SBA’s West Virginia District Office.
Selling to the Government & SBA’s Small Business Certification Programs will be held at 10:00 a.m. and Getting Your Business Registered in CCR, is set for 1:30 p.m. The hands-on portion of the training will be conducted at the West Virginia Women’s Business Center (WBC) in Beckley, W.Va. The WBC is located at 200 Value City Center, Suite 601 in Beckley. Businesses interested in attending the Beckley training can contact the WBC at (304) 253-3145.
Small business owners can also participate in one or both of the workshops from the comfort of their own office through SBA’s ReadyTalk conferencing system. For information on how to participate and to register, contact Naomi Bassel at naomi.bassel@sba.gov or (304) 623-5631 extension 225.
The federal government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the world, spending nearly $520 billion in 2008. Contracting can be an excellent option for small businesses searching for expansion opportunities and for ways to keep their companies viable in today’s business climate. The U.S. Small Business Administration oversees various certification programs which can provide minorities, women, disabled veterans and other social and economic disadvantaged individuals with tools to engage in federal contracting.
Representatives from the West Virginia Women’s Business Center, Regional Contracting Assistance Center, and the U.S. Small Business Administration will be providing instructional guidance and support during the presentations.
