NETWORKING FOR WOMEN@WBC

Networking for Women provides a network of support for women and women-owned small businesses. The goal of the network is to guide and support women in building relationships, growing their businesses, and advancing their careers. Networking for Women is proudly sponsored by the Women's Business Center, the National Center for Small Business Information at Florida Institute of Technology and the Florida Small Business Development Center at Brevard Community College.

Through monthly meetings and forums, self-promotion and networking opportunities are made available and, more importantly, encouraged. The themes are areas related to personal and business growth, marketing, government contracting and issues that deal with today's complex technologies. These get-togethers provide networking mechanisms for women-owned small businesses and individuals to build government contracting expertise and enhance skills, gain expertise, and redefine career goals. By joining Networking for Women, you instantly become part of an environment supportive of both personal and professional goals.

The group normally meets on the second Monday of every month from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm on the Florida Institute of Technology campus. Please see the schedule for exact location. You can easily register through our online registration.

The Women's Business Center (WBC) at Florida Institute of Technology offers training, counseling, mentoring, and technical assistance for nascent and startup entrepreneurs and small businesses focusing on women in Brevard, Indian River, and St. Lucie counties. The WBC meets the needs of small businesses and individuals by integrating the "Power of Four" - the right Place, People, Partners, and Products.

Our main objective is building personal and professional expertise in government contracting and related business software. The NCSBI is funded through the U.S. Department of Labor.
