This program really surprised me. The course is easy to follow, and the individual lessons do a great job of building on one other. I have worked for (and with) global suppliers for a few years and this course filled gaps that I did not know I had. I am excited to apply the tools that I learned here. Highly recommend!

This program was worth every minute spent! It truly dives into all the information needed on how to become a diverse supplier. As a business owner, it also opens up your eyes on how you can strengthen your own business outcomes! Diverse suppliers can bring so many great advantages to the marketplace & it's so wonderful to see a program acknowledge this!

Navigating the information highways of what is needed to become a successful Diverse Supplier and land contracts with major companies is plentiful and confusing. You may have one piece and not another important piece because there was not a central place to learn everything needed to be successful. Until now, this course was information, instructional, and provided the step by step guidance needed

It provides a strong set of tools to confidently submit proposals and possess appropriate business acumen to thrive. I'm grateful for this course!

This program gave me the opportunity to look at my business from a global standpoint. As we gear up to grow and look forward to engaging with larger employers, the supplier readiness program was the perfect opportunity for me to to understand what those employers are looking for in their procurement process. I look forward to seeing what new opportunities come from now being a diverse supplier!
This course provided solid information. It was paired with great worksheets that pushed me to think through my business, what I offer and how I can be an asset to larger corporations. It definitely delivered on getting me ready to effectively collaborate and register my business as a Diversity Supplier! Knowledge is power and this was powerful knowledge. I highly recommend this course!
