MBE Development with Excellence

A FREE DEVELOPMENT COURSE FOR CERTIFIED MBEs

OMSDC University’s objective is to enable MBEs, Class 1 and Class 2, to grow profitably and meet or exceed corporate member requirements. Over a thirteen-week term, MBEs will participate in activities designed to integrate all aspects of MBE development into one program to provide a road map for profitable growth.

  3. Financial Management: The knowledge of standards, requirements, and professionalism to operate a business’ finances.
  4. Final Portfolio/Proposal: The knowledge and skills to work with others and ensure sustainable growth.
