Clark County’s Small Business Opportunity Program

Thank you for your interest in Clark County’s Small Business Opportunity Program!

This program is designed to help small business owners increase their capacity to compete for government contracts. Small businesses enrolling in this program will receive instruction, mentoring, coaching, and relationship-building training. Many small business graduates have gained access to contract opportunities with local government entities, institutions of higher learning, and private agencies.

This training curriculum is based on best business practices that have proven successful for hundreds of local small vendors. All courses were created by UNR Cooperative Extension.
