What You Will Learn:
This interactive workshop provides small businesses with the tools and information needed to successfully engage with Metro. Learn about Metro’s Certification Programs (SBE & DVBE), the Small Business Program Initiative, the Contractor Development Bonding Program, and how to navigate the Metro Vendor Portal to access current and upcoming opportunities.
For this event, we are inviting Prime Contractors currently working on active Metro contracts based in the San Fernando Valley. This creates a valuable opportunity for small businesses to connect directly with project teams operating in their region, gain insight into upcoming Valley-based work, and begin building relationships that can lead to subcontracting opportunities.
This event is presented by Metro in collaboration with The Valley Economic Alliance, to help bring Metro resources directly to the San Fernando Valley’s business community.

Small Business Program Initiative: Discover powerful resources designed to support your growth and success.
Contractor Development Bonding Program: Gain strategies to boost your capacity and win more contracts.
Vendor Portal Navigation: Receive hands-on guidance to maximize your use of the vendor portal.
