252 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JUNE 2019 The NJEDA and the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ) have partnered to establish and operate the Small Business Bonding Readiness Assistance Program, a training program that will better position small, minority, and women-owned businesses to compete for state or federal government contracts. Under the program, eligible companies participate in a training course designed to increase bonding knowledge and capacity, with a focus on the construction and development industries. Tuition grants cover the cost of the training for small businesses selected to participate.  It's an exciting time for New Jersey’s business community. With the Governor’s economic plan as a guideline and the NJEDA’s shift in focus to spur economic opportunities for communities, small businesses owners, and entrepreneurs around the state, New Jersey can once again be a leader on the global and national stage. The best is yet to come!
