OMAHA, Neb., April 3, 2018 – For Small and Emerging Businesses (SEBs), mentoring matters; and, the Reach Beyond Mentoring Program today announced applications for “Class 2,” the program’s leadership, knowledge and relationship endeavor, are now open.
A 12-month mentoring experience designed to match a protégé (small & emerging construction firm), with a mentor (general contractor), the intensive, hands-on learning opportunity connects growing, scalable construction firms with established organizations. The result: real learning that often means real revenue.
“In all that we do, our goal is to always find ways to grow and build the capacity of small and emerging construction firms in the Greater Omaha area,” said Savannah Cuevas, program manager, REACH. “It is because of our many partnerships and the resources leveraged here that we have been able to build and provide the REACH Beyond Mentoring Program, a true opportunity for SEBS who are willing to make the investment to take their firms to the next level.”
The program, which is open to Greater Omaha construction SEBs operating for two years or more, runs from June 2018 through May 2019. Applications are online, and close April 27, 2018.
REACH is a cooperative, community program made possible thanks to The Greater Omaha Chamber, City of Omaha, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Metropolitan Community College, Seventy-Five North Revitalization Corp., Catholic Charities Micro Business Program, Nebraska Business Development Center, Nebraska Enterprise Fund, Nebraska Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Society for Marketing Professional Services
