Charlotte is launching an initiative aimed at giving a leg up to local small businesses looking to dive into opportunities linked to the city's upcoming mobility investments. The program, named Skilled to Build, promises to provide the skills, technical support, and the resources necessary for these enterprises to bite into a slice of the contract pie.
The Small Business Readiness Fund, an integral part of this initiative, will unfold in three strategic phases: developing a curriculum, delivering the program, and offering ongoing technical assistance. Each phase is crafted to ensure that businesses are not left behind, as the city forges ahead with its mobility projects. The initiative was announced earlier this week, as highlighted in a Facebook post from the City of Charlotte.
Interested parties who want to get a jump on what's in store can find details on the city's own website. A visit to cltgov.me/skilledlaunch will offer a gateway into the opportunities currently up for grabs, as laid out in the aforementioned Facebook announcement.
