Success Program III
The Wayne County Human Relations Division's monthly on-site Open Certification
Outreach Workshops are targeted to small businesses and those interested

Division will assist vendors with their certification applications and reviewing
the application process. Workshops are planned for the early morning
or evening to accommodate busy schedules.
In addition to the hands-on assistance, Empowerment and Improvement
sessions are scheduled, which provide helpful tips and strategies in growing and
strengthening your business - business development and planning, financial literacy,
bonding, health care and a special question-and-answer session with a Wayne County
expert - and doing business with Wayne County.

Topics such as applying for loans and other helpful tips are explored.
Networking session
A series of targeted networking events ("Partners of Possibility")
