Business Development Program
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) also contracted with TYLER to develop and administer TDOT’s newest effort, the DBE Business Development Program, which will focus on Project-Based Business Education and Mentoring of DBE firm owners.
This is a voluntary program designed to evaluate and provide a structured process for DBE firm owners to receive firm-specific training and guidance to assist in their growth and competitiveness within the transportation construction industry. DBE firms, with specific offering in the civil, highway, bridge and infrastructure work areas will be assessed and provided consultative services by subject matter experts in civil construction, engineering, accounting, financial management, strategic marketing, human resources, and business management and a host of other opportunities to increase firm competitiveness in the construction industry.
DBE firm owners who are interested in this intensive Project-based Business Education & Mentoring Program must complete an Intake and Business Needs Assessment Form (required for all firms seeking program assistance) and must provide specific construction services, engineering-design, consultant, or a material supplier in the construction industry.
The answers are at your fingertips. It’s that easy! Please contact supportive services toll free 1.888.385.9022 or
