The unique regulatory landscape of Government Contracting makes it difficult for new or commercial businesses to enter the space.  Fortunately, the Government has created several programs to assist companies looking to enter the Federal market.  These opportunities certainly help these new-entrants.  However, they also provide subcontracting opportunities for more traditional government contractors.  Join our expert instructors as they explore how both new market entrants and existing contractors looking to subcontract may use these unique programs to create opportunities that help both classes of company.
