Urban League Aims to ‘Empower’ Small Businesses Through New Program

The Urban League of Nebraska (Omaha, NE) is working to empower small businesses by securing contracts through a new program.

In a statement Friday, the Urban League of Nebraska announced the “Nebraska Opportunity Exchange”, a program that aims to support underrepresented small businesses in Nebraska.

The program works to provide small businesses with “... the tools, resources, and expert-led training to access capital, navigate government and corporate contracting, and thrive in today’s businesses landscape,” according to the statement.

“What they’re telling me, it’s great to really come together with other business owners, it’s great to see the opportunities that are available and provide hope for a better tomorrow and building that business opportunity in the future.”

This program, presented in a series of workshops, will aim to give entrepreneurs the tools they need.
