Minority and women-owned businesses can receive assistance certifying or re-certifying as historically underutilized businesses with the state of North Carolina through web-based training that will be available online Wednesday, Aug. 17, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
The training will be interactive, allowing participants to ask questions during the presentation. Interested business owners should register through the Eventbrite link at CityofWS.org/MWBE.
Certification with the state HUB office provides businesses with greater exposure to business opportunities in state procurement and contracting. All HUB-certified businesses are listed in the Vendor Link system, which is widely used by state agencies, universities, community colleges, local schools, local governments and institutions and the public to locate historically underutilized businesses for goods, services and construction. HUB Certification is free and valid for four years.
Additionally, M/WBE firms must be HUB-certified in order to count toward the M/WBE commitment for each city of Winston-Salem project at the time that a proposal is submitted.
