The CNMI Small Business Development Center Network is teaming up with the Guam APEX Accelerator to offer a unique training opportunity for local businesses in Saipan and Rota. The two-day training series aims to help businesses become procurement-ready for federally-funded opportunities.
The training, titled “Federal Contracting 101,” will be led by Boris Hertslet, Program Manager of the Guam APEX Accelerator. The first session will take place on May 22, 2024, at the Northern Marianas College campus in As Terlaje, Saipan. The following day, the same training will be offered at the Northern Marianas College Rota Center.
Nadine C. Deleon Guerrero, network director of the CNMI SBDC Network, encourages all local businesses to attend this no-cost training opportunity.
