By Staff Report, posted 5 months ago

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. 

The course sessions are: 

Part 1: Federal Contracting Fundamentals (one hour). This training explores the fundamentals on doing business with the federal government. Topics include: levels of federal purchasing; how the federal government buys products, construction and engineering and non-personal services; registering as a federal contractor; locating, identifying and responding to federal business opportunities; and resources available to assist federal contractors in North Carolina.

Part 2: Navigating Federal Small Business Certifications: An In-Depth Analysis (one hour). This session offers a deep dive into various certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB/VOSB and Women-Owned, covering eligibility, application processes, and strategies for leveraging these certifications to expand business opportunities.

Part 3: Effectively Presenting Your Small Business to the Federal Government (one hour). This training focuses on real world tips, tricks, tools and lessons learned on how to effectively market a business to federal customers. It also focuses on techniques to market a business to federal prime contractors, in anticipation of teaming on current and future opportunities.

This is a free training opportunity, but registration is required. You can register on the NCMBC website here
