Certified Small Businesses (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Targeted Group Business, VET), Training & Technical Certification Reimbursement Program

The Training and Technical Certification Reimbursement program is a micro-grant opportunity for certified small businesses seeking financial assistance for eligible expenses to increase business capacity and industry knowledge to pursue work on Minnesota Department of Transportation projects and contracts.

If your certified small business is seeking training and/or industry required certification(s) to help your business grow or compete for MnDOT contracts, there may be funding available to help offset associated costs.

Funding is limited and program will close once funds have been expended.

Learn about the application process and reimbursement criteria.
