State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program Training Benefits

Did you know?  

 

Members of the state of Texas Cooperative Purchasing (CO-OP) program have access to training offered exclusively to employees of the state of Texas, political subdivisions, and other CO-OP members. These training courses focus on purchasing, contract management and professional development, and will help attendees become familiar with purchasing regulations, laws and best practices as defined by the state of Texas.    

 

The vendors who contract with the Comptroller’s office to offer classes in Austin, Texas, will provide the same quality learning experience in regional areas. The Comptroller’s office currently contracts with William B. Agee and Associates, Government Procurement Services and Calyptus.
