BOWD Training and Development

Building Competitive Diverse Businesses

Welcome to the BOWD Training and Development website. BOWD administers supportive services to accelerate the development of minority, women, and small businesses. BOWD uses DBE and M/WBE Supportive Services funding to offer a wide variety of training programs, seminars, conferences, and events to increase the opportunity for businesses to gain contracts with NCDOT.

Services are open to any firm that has been certified into one of NCDOT’s diverse business programs, including the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program, or Small Professional Services Firm (SPSF) Program. If your firm is interested in being certified into one of our Diverse Business Programs, visit http://www.ncdot.org/business/ocs/, or contact the NCDOT Office of Contractual Services at (919) 733-5616.

While many of our programs are held in Raleigh, BOWD also provides a number of training courses at locations across the state of North Carolina. Most programs and services are available for a nominal registration fee.

We invite you to take advantage of the training and development services offered by the BOWD Unit by reviewing the information provided on this site, and returning to the site often to learn about new opportunities to build your business.
