CONTRACTORS RESOURCE CENTER – GREATER NEW ORLEANS
The Contractor’s Resource Center (CRC-GNO) was established in 2014 as an expansion of the Urban League’s work in economic development and inclusion. The CRC works to provide resources to small, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) certified, minority, and women-owned contracting firms. Clients of the Center have access to a state-of-the-art plotter/printer and a computer training lab where contractor-specific training programs in electronic estimating, project management, construction safety, compliance, back-office structure, commercial licensing preparation and other related topics are provided.
“The Urban League has assisted me in setting up my accounts in QuickBooks, forecasting, and the Construction Management at Risk procurement process. They have also helped me by introducing me to several prime contractors and even helped me with public speaking!”
