The North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) and the Government Contracting Assistance Program (GCAP) will host a number of collaborative in-person trainings across North Carolina during 2024.  The duration for training is 3.5 hours which includes three one-hour sessions and two 15-minute breaks. 

The sessions will be coming to the Fayetteville Technical Community College Campus on Oct. 8, 2024 from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. The three session course will be taking place in the General Classroom Building,  in room 108 located at 2817 Fort Bragg Road.
