Larkin will coordinate instructor selection. "We have a strong resource group of experts in the proposal, sales, marketing, accounting, legal and security clearance fields. We only engage proven experts as instructors, preferably those with national experience and exposure."
Space for the in-person courses is limited to ensure an optimal learning environment. While companies in the park are encouraged to participate, companies outside the park are welcome as well. Class schedules and fees will be posted on the TargetGov and bwtech ( @ ) UMBC web sites.
"One of the important parts of this program," says Ellen Hemmerly, president and executive director of bwtech ( @ ) UMBC, "is that it will help early-stage companies learn how to expand their customer base into the government sector."
"Being successful in the bid process can take months or years," says Vic Hess, entrepreneur in residence at bwtech@UMBC. "In today's highly competitive environment, businesses must plan an acceleration strategy to rise above the pack."
