LBEs enrolled in our Contractor Development Program who attended the webinars shared some of what they found helpful :
“ The Business Development Series has assisted Arana Group in our professional development . As a Small Local Business Enterprise , the series was designed for flexibility , which allowed us to attend and learn virtually , providing a dynamic environment . Lastly , the series allowed us to participate in discussions , and exchange best practices and ideas with our community of peers .”

“ As we strive to sustainably grow our company , the webinars provided by the Contractor Development Program have been very useful and beneficial . We have gained a great deal of valuable insight , which has helped us navigate the bidding process , as well as strategically approach General Contractors to foster long-term business partnerships .
In addition to the webinars , the CDP staff and team have provided us with a better understanding of what contract terms we should be extra attentive to when reviewing contracts we ’ ve obtained , as well as helping us learn the skill of financial forecasting with our bid approach and project management .”
