LaunchPad: Post-Certification Workshop
Turn Certification Into Real Corporate Access
Join a workshop that helps you use your MBE status to open doors.
Certification alone does not open every door
You got your certification, and now the real work begins. Corporate work often asks for another set of skills, contacts, and follow-through. Without a clear next step, many strong suppliers stay visible on paper and invisible in the buying process.

Leave with a plan that moves you forward
After the workshop, you will know how to use your certification with purpose. You will see where Council resources fit, how corporate partnerships work, and what to do next to stay on a buyer’s radar.
Learn from the Council in one session
LaunchPad is the monthly MBE Post-Certification Orientation Webinar for new certificates and recertifications after a lapse of five years or more. It introduces Council resources, subscription services, the MBEIC Committee, and the MBDA so you can move with more clarity from the start.
