Event Description:

Own a small business? You might be leaving government money on the table.

If you're a woman, minority, veteran, service-disabled, or economically disadvantaged entrepreneur, you may qualify for certifications that open doors to government contracts—and you might not even know it.

Join us at Innovation DuPage for our next free workshop, "The Certification Process," with Dr. Ileen Kelly from Illinois APEX at the Business Development Center at College of DuPage.

You'll learn:

  • Federal certifications: 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone
  • State & local certifications: DBE, MBE, WBE, VBE
  • Application processes and required documentation
  • How to market your certifications to win government contracts

Dr. Kelly brings over 10 years of experience helping small businesses break into government markets.

Perfect for established businesses with 2+ years of revenue ready to grow through government contracting.
