BERP Works to Boost Women and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise Certifications
 |
PITTSFIELD, Mass—The Berkshire Economic Recovery Project announced the launch of its women- and minority-owned business enterprise (W/MBE) module in an effort to Boost Women and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise Certifications.
This training module, available in both English and Spanish, provides a high-level overview of what it means to be a certified woman and/or minority-owned business enterprise, and how such a certification can help support the small businesses here in the Berkshires.
In addition to the short overview training modules, interested businesses will also find a direct link to schedule a free intake consultation with the Economic Development team at 1Berkshire.
These consultations will allow 1Berkshire to make direct referrals to technical assistance support to help guide interested women- and minority-owned businesses through the certification process.
The Berkshire Economic Recovery Project is a program of 1Berkshire and Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, with funding from the United States Economic Development Administration.
Businesses and business owners are invited to visit the W/MBE module page for more information and to view the recordings.
