The following is a message from Director of Workforce, Supplier, and Diversity Development Jill Griffin:
As part of its effort to ensure that local businesses have the resources they need to be successful partners in the Expanded Gaming industry, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s Office of Workforce, Supplier and Diversity Development has become a referral partner to the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC).
ICIC promotes the importance of growth of businesses operating in urban areas, and creates strategies to attain this objective. ICIC has identified three accelerants to help inner city firms overcome obstacles and grow:
- Improved access to capital
- Management and business education for business owners
- Connections to procurement and supply chain networks.
MassGaming accepts applications for The Inner City Capital Connection
MassGaming is now accepting applications from businesses interested in a nomination for ICIC’s tuition-free executive education seminar, The Inner City Capital Connection (ICCC). To be held on September 24, 2015 in Boston, ICCC is designed to provide top growing inner city businesses with tools to accelerate growth and access capital.
Please contact Corean Reynolds at (617) 979-8488 or corean.reynolds@state.ma.us if your business is interested in being nominated for the program.
Program Eligibility Criteria are at least $2 million in sales by 2014 (The program will accept businesses with sales less than $2 million with a nominator’s recommendation). The firm must be headquartered in a distressed urban area or have at least 40% of employees reside within one.
