“I was impressed during the Construction Business Academy with both the quality of the instructors and the instruction itself. The wealth of knowledge that was presented and made available to my cohort was exceptional and the icing on the cake was the tremendous networking opportunities and the breadth and depth of experience of my classmates. I encourage any that are considering participation in the CBA to jump at the opportunity to help grow and improve their business, like it did for us at J&L Construction. ”

“Going through the CAGC Business Academy has been amazing! I’ve met so many new people in the minority business community and have worked with a few of them since our cohort. Because of this class, my business reaches a broader audience and has more visibility. We have also gained more knowledge and internal support from an operating standpoint because of the topic discussions in class. The program was well thought out with the business owner in my mind.”
