Join our informational session designed to help you understand how local and national certifications can open doors to new contracting, procurement, and growth opportunities. This workshop will explore the most common certification options, who they are designed for, and how to determine which certifications align best with your business goals. Participants will learn what documentation and operational requirements must be in place before applying, common readiness gaps to address in advance, and the general steps involved in the application process. By the end of the session, business owners will have a clearer roadmap for pursuing certifications strategically and using them as tools for credibility, access, and long-term business growth rather than checking boxes without purpose.
