SBA Launches New Online Training Course: Winning Federal Contracts ? A Guide for Women Entrepreneurs
In my continuing effort to provide assistance with SBA financing and information, I think it’s worth mentioning that women who own small businesses will be able to use a new online SBA training course to learn how to identify and take advantage of federal contracting opportunities. The new training course, Winning Federal Contracts: A Guide for Women Entrepreneurs, is part of an ongoing government-wide initiative to promote opportunities for women-owned businesses in the area of government contracting.
This free online tutorial is a practical and easy to use guide that walks a woman-owned small business through the contracting process. The SBA’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership oversees a national network of more than 100 Women’s Business Centers (WBCs) that provide education and training to help women start and grow small businesses. In addition, the SBA has 68 district offices and other resource partners throughout the country available to train and counsel women-owned small businesses and
entrepreneurs seeking government contracts.
The Winning Federal Contracts course is designed to help women entrepreneurs learn about the federal procurement process and to prepare them to compete for contracting opportunities. The self-paced guide uses audio and script to provide information about contract rules, how to sell to the government and where to find contracts.
The Winning Federal Contracts course is available on SBA’s Web site at www.sba.gov or directly at www.sba.gov/fedcontractingtraining. It is indexed by subject matter, and includes direct links to additional contracting resources.
Well done!
Thanks everyone for your tremendous feedback! I really appreciate your comments. I will continue to provide SBA info, but I think you will find that the posts will take more of a political and consumer advocate slant in the coming weeks.
