Detroit - Wayne County's Human Relations Division today hosted
its third certification and business workshop, an annual event that attracted
more than a hundred merchants, workers and entrepreneurial hopefuls to learn
more about vendor bidding and doing business with Wayne County.
Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano provided welcoming remarks, noting that
Wayne County has a long history of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that
has made this region recognized around the world. Talking to large groups about
the county's services' bidding, teaching the steps to vendor certification and
showcasing other county standards will further build the business base, he
said.
Wayne County annually bids many hundreds of millions in supplies, services and
goods. But vendors must undergo certain certification steps in order to
qualify. Other qualifications may further assist potential vendors seeking to
do business with Michigan's most populated and oldest county.
The division today also announced a new website that will help in educating in
doing business as a county vendor. Forms and applications, helpful links, team
members and other useful information are also provided. A calendar of events is
also available online. There are no fees and the workshops are open to anyone.
