    THE AMCA CONDUCTS SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH THE GOAL OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF MINORITY-OWNED FIRMS PARTICIPATING IN THE CONSTRUCTION MARKETPLACE.

SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS ARE PROVIDED AT A SUBSTANTIALLY-REDUCED REGISTRATION FEE WHILE MAINTAINING A HIGH LEVEL OF QUALITY AND COMPETENCE. COURSES ARE TAILORED IN BOTH CONTENT AND INSTRUCTORS, TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF CONCERN TO THE MINORITY CONSTRUCTION FIRM. IN MANY CASES, A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION FROM AN AMCA COURSE WILL OPEN THE DOORS TO PREVIOUSLY INACCESSIBLE MARKETS BY ESTABLISHING ELIGIBILITY TO BID IN CERTAIN FIELDS.
