Woman Business Enterprise Certification

I am so proud to announce today that firstPRO Staffing and Executive Search has been certified as a Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) by the City of Philadelphia. This certification is being offered through reciprocity due to firstPRO’s certification through from the City of Atlanta’s Equal Business Opportunity program.

With this certification, we look forward to working with the City of Philadelphia on projects that will encourage more growth for the city. As a Woman Business Enterprise, we will be able to take part in creating new proposals and offering our expertise whenever we can. Our goal is to continue building and expanding this prosperous city.

This certification also allows firstPRO to be counted towards the WBE contracting ranges for projects administered by the City of Philadelphia. This means we will be able to participate as a subcontractor/sub-consultant on City of Philadelphia competitive bids or proposal projects as a WBE. We will also be placed in the Office of Economic Opportunity’s (OEO) Directory of certified firms in order to assist City departments, agencies and prime contractors solicit WBE participation.
