Introducing the Government Contracting Institute from TargetGov and bwtech@UMBC!

Accompanying our new office located in the Cyber Incubator at bwtech@UMBC’s Research and Technology Park TargetGov is teaming up with bwtech@UMBC to bring you the Government Contracting Institute, a series of in person government contracting courses. These courses are geared towards existing and new businesses who want to learn more about the federal marketplace and best practices for being successful in that marketplace.

TargetGov is very excited to be hosting this new series in conjunction with bwtech@UMBC and we are looking forward to helping businesses here get a leg up in the often-confounding federal government marketplace.

“Government contracting is a multi-billion dollar market and the fact that bwtech@UMBC Research & Technology Park is partnering with TargetGov on the Government Contracting Institute is testimony to their vision of supporting business incubation, acceleration and growth,” says subject matter expert Gloria Larkin.

Classes offered include:

•    Federal Contracting Gap Analysis
•    Market Identification Strategies and Tactics
•    Illuminating the Federal Sales Process
•    Marketing to Win Government Contracts
•    Navigating the GSA Schedule System
•    Proposal Writing Tools for Success
•    Fundamental Contract & Project Management
•    Essential Accounting Components
•    Clarifying Legal Requirements
•    Demystifying Security Clearances

“One of the important parts of this program,” says Ellen Hemmerly, president and executive director of bwtech@UMBC, “is that it will help early-stage companies learn how to expand their customer base into the government sector.”

Space is limited to ensure an optimal learning environment. The classes are slotted to last approximately three and a half hours and they will take place in bwtech@UMBC’s Research and Technology Park.

The courses will begin in November. Keep your eyes open for updates from TargetGov for more information about the individual courses and how to register. Click here for more information about the individual classes.
