'''The Disadvantaged Businesses Enterprise''' (DBE) department within ASU’s College of Business Administration is leading a major effort to increase job creation in the state of Alabama. This initiative includes a summit held January 20, 2012 to introduce the '''''Alabama Works, Alabama Wins''''' project which aims to boost competiveness among Alabama’s contractors, and therefore their ability to create jobs in the state.
As part of ASU’s commitment to '''''Alabama Works, Alabama Wins''''' program, the university will establish the '''''Emerging Contractors program'''''. This program will among other services, provide classes for subcontractors to help them develop increased business skills for the construction industry. Subcontractors who complete the program will be placed on the bidders list for construction jobs in the state.
The '''''Emerging Contractors''''' program will adopt the curriculum that is used by the Alabama chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors Inc. (ABC).
