SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — The Associated General Contractors of California (AGC of California) and the AGC Construction Education Foundation (AGC CEF) have announced a new partnership with the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce and its Regional Small Business Utilization Center (RSBUC).
According to a release, the collaboration is designed to strengthen and expand support for small, underrepresented and diverse construction businesses across the greater Sacramento region, including Sacramento, Yolo, and Placer Counties.
Small construction businesses will be provided resources tailored to the demands of the industry, which includes targeted education and training, mentorship and technical assistance, access to matchmaking opportunities with AGC general contractors, and ongoing business development support.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to creating more inclusive and equitable economic opportunities within the construction industry,” said Erin Volk, executive director of AGC CEF and senior vice-president, workforce and community development at AGC of California. “Together with the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber and RSBUC, we are equipping small and underrepresented businesses with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to succeed.”
The project is funded in part through a grant from the California Office of the Small Business Advocate, which includes a $100,000 subgrant from RSBUC to AGC CEF.
