VGCC Offers Seminar on Government Contracting

Vance-Granville Community College’s Small Business Center will host a free seminar explaining how to do business with state and federal government agencies on Tuesday, February 9, from 9 a.m. until noon in Building 7, Room 7107, on the college’s Main Campus in Vance County.

Seminar participants will find out if their businesses can make money through government contracting and learn about the Internet-based procurement systems launched by the federal and North Carolina governments. They will follow the procurement process from registration and certification requirements to finding out what and where the government is buying. Other topics will include contract preference programs and resources for further assistance with pursuing government business. The seminar seeks to de-mystify government procurement so that business owners can make informed decisions on whether to enter this important market.

Kathryn Lobdell of Raleigh will serve as instructor for the seminar.

VGCC Small Business Center Director Diane Finch advised that space is limited for this free seminar. To reserve a seat, pre-register by calling the Small Business Center at (252) 738-3240.
