Workshop attracts dozens interested in Wayne County vendor services
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.
