The City of Indianapolis and the Department of Minority & Women Business Development (DMWBD) announced today a new, free online portal resource to build business opportunities for City-certified minority, women, and Veteran business owners through an agreement with local firm Innoventum.
"This new portal will provide our city's certified vendors easy access to online training modules that will enable and empower them to not only start, but to sustain and grow their businesses", said Greg Wilson, DWMBD, Director.
Under the administration of Mayor Gregory Ballard, the DMWBD has been providing business consultation, training workshops covering specific topics, and regular networking events for its certified vendors. However, a needs assessment revealed many vendors lacked business administration and development education. The new Innoventum portal will provide the type of resources and tools for these vendors to hone and enhance their skills.
"We're so excited to provide a training portal to the City of Indianapolis and its certified vendors to help them grow their businesses", said Denise Gosnell, President and CEO of Innoventum. "Our training programs have some amazing business building techniques that even the most successful businesses can see benefits."
Utilizing the Innoventum Portal will provide quick and easy access for vendors to the necessary resources and tools for continued business development.
