The right path for your organization — whatever that looks like.

Not every institution needs the same thing. Some refer. Some sponsor. Some bring a trainer in. Pick the option that fits how your organization works.

Option 1

Refer Contractors

Best for organizations that want to recommend JoMar classes without managing a full cohort.

  • Contractors enroll directly
  • Good for resource pages and partner referrals
  • Supports DBEs, subs, and small business owners
  • Simple link for newsletters, events, and handouts

Use this when the contractor pays or enrolls directly.
Option 2

Sponsor a Cohort

Best for workforce boards, DBE programs, colleges, cities, chambers, and contractor-support initiatives.

  • Group access for selected participants
  • Can align with bonding, funding, or procurement readiness
  • Works for 10, 25, 50, or custom participant groups
  • Can include reporting checkpoints and completion support

Option 3

Host a Workshop

Best for live events, procurement training, business bootcamps, vendor development, and conference sessions.

  • Live or virtual readiness session
  • Topics can focus on bonding, cash flow, documentation, or funding
  • Can pair with class access after the session
  • Good for TXDOT-style, city, college, or workforce events
