Prime Contractors Perspective
Welcome to the 2021-2022 “Building Blocks of Success” series.
The purpose of the series is to help DBEs and those who are interested in conducting business with IDOT grow their business in ability and capacity. Building Blocks of Success is set up in blocks which are broken down into smaller modules of workshops. There will be two to three workshops per week, lasting between 1 to 2 hrs. until the end of March 2022. During selected workshops, you will hear from various leaders within IDOT letting you know that they support you and this program.
Firms who attend at least 50% of the series workshop shall be invited to attend a DBE graduation ceremony and be given an opportunity to have one on ones with some of our prime contractors in the Chicagoland area
To reserve a D1 DBE Resource Center computer to use to virtually attend a workshop, first register for the workshop and then email or call Monica Gilliean at Monica.N.Gilliean@illinois.gov or 312-939-1100 to reserve a computer. Space is extremely limited.
