SUMMARY:Contractor's Academy
DESCRIPTION:The Contractor’s Academy is an intensive eight-session certificate program presented by Wake Tech and the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC). The program takes business owners and entrepreneurs through the complete journey from first understanding what public sector contracting is to being fully prepared to find\, pursue and win contracts at the federal and North Carolina state level. \nThe program is built around one principle: sequence matters. Companies don’t fail in government contracting because they lack talent; they fail because they try to bid before they’re registered\, market before they’ve done research and write proposals before they’ve built relationships. Every session builds on the one before it. \nThe program is delivered in hybrid format. Each session combines live in-person instruction with simultaneous virtual participation. All participants work on their own computers throughout every session — every demo\, registration and workshop exercise is completed in real time\, not as homework. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Setting Up for Contracting Success: Tools and Systems You Need (online)
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Federal Government is the world’s largest customer – and small businesses are a critical part of its supply chain. But breaking into federal contracting can feel overwhelming without a roadmap. \nThe Government Contracting Foundations Series is designed for small businesses that are curious about federal work but don’t know where to start. With these monthly webinars\, you’ll learn the basics step by step: how the government buys\, how to register\, what certifications mean\, how to define your company’s capabilities\, and what infrastructure you need in place to compete. \nWhether you’re a one-person shop or a growing business\, this series gives you practical\, no-nonsense guidance to help you decide if federal contracting is right for you and how to get started the right way. \nNote: These sessions are focused on federal contracting – how to do business with U.S. federal agencies. While some concepts may apply broadly\, this series is not designed for companies pursuing state or local government contracts. \nSession 7 – Foundational Infrastructure for Government Contractors\nBuild the backbone of your business before chasing contracts.\nGovernment contracting requires more than a SAM registration. We’ll walk through the core business functions you need – from accounting and timekeeping systems to HR\, IT\, contracts/legal\, and compliance (SPRS\, CMMC). You’ll learn what’s essential at the start and what can scale as you grow. \nReena Bhatia of the NC Military Business Center at Wake Tech will provide a basic overview of essential topics. \nThis webinar will be presented via Microsoft Teams platform. If you’ve never used Teams it will ask you to download onto your computer. We ask that you go ahead and complete this step\, utilizing the same First Name\, Last Name and Email address used during registration. \nOnce you do this it will allow you access to the webinar. We recommend that you sign in to the webinar at least five minutes prior to the start of the session to ensure you don’t have any technical issues. \nRegister
