Learn about Business Certifications

The Wayne Business and Industry Center will offer the free seminar “Should My Business Be Certified?” 4-6 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 30 in Room 101 of the Walnut Building on Wayne Community College’s main campus in Goldsboro.

Unlike permits and licenses, businesses do not need to obtain certifications to legally operate. However, certifications can make a business more competitive and position it to take advantage of opportunities such as government contracts.

This session, provided by the Women’s Business Center, will discuss the various government and private entities that provide certifications for small, woman-owned, minority-owned, and disadvantaged status businesses, who qualifies, how to start, and which are right for participants’ businesses.
