SBA Training for Government Contracting

The SBA training is in a bit of a predicament. It's unfortunate when a superb program gets overwhelmed by its success. That, sadly, is the situation with the SBA webinar series.

The webinar series is open to everyone, although it is limited to the first 500 to sign up. Although the SBA had planned to post the webinar online, I haven't seen it yet.

The webinar itself sounded quite outstanding. It was geared to firms that are:

  • 8(a) certified
  • HUBZone certified
  • Firms that are eligible to receive 8(a) contracts
  • Businesses operating in areas of high unemployment or low income
  • Firms owned by low income individuals

The course focuses on a number of key areas in government contracting:

  • Strategic Planning and Implementation
  • Marketing
  • Quality Processes
  • Financial Resilience
  • Leveraging Relationships
  • Managing People

Here are some excellent resources for your business plan:

More SBA webinars are scheduled from time to time, and some of them are quite excellent.

Register early, spots are nearly always limited.

Do keep in touch with the SBA.  Training is sometimes offered in local SBA offices, or by SCORE volunteers, or online.  Sometimes the courses cover taxes or licensing or marketing issues, as well as business plan writing.  Most of the time the courses are pretty good, especially if your experience in the area is limited.

While attending this type of SBA training, really take advantage of it.  Use it as an opportunity to ask more questions, to contact the speaker directly, to delve deeper into the issues at hand.
