If you own a small business in construction, architecture, engineering, or a related industry, you won't want to miss this opportunity. NJ TRANSIT's Office of Business Development, in collaboration with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), is offering a free Construction Management Certificate Program designed specifically for small businesses interested in doing business with NJ TRANSIT.
The program runs virtually from September 28 through October 15, 2026, with sessions three evenings per week from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Participants who complete all sessions will earn a Construction Management Certificate and 2.1 continuing education credits, culminating in an in-person graduation ceremony at NJ TRANSIT's headquarters in Newark on October 26, 2026.
And the best part? It is completely free.
For small businesses in Essex County, government and public agency contracts offer some of the most significant and stable revenue opportunities. NJ TRANSIT is one of the largest public transportation agencies in the country, with a robust procurement process and a strong commitment to working with small and local businesses.
But competing for those contracts requires more than a strong track record. You need to understand how public agencies evaluate bids, manage construction documents, schedule projects, and navigate procurement processes. That is exactly what this program teaches.
Completing a program like this signal to public sector buyers that your firm is serious, prepared, and ready to deliver. It also gives you direct insight into how NJ TRANSIT makes purchasing decisions, which is an advantage most of your competitors will not have.
