This is session 6 of a 10 session virtual course. The Masters Institute for Government contractors is a 5-day (10 sessions) live virtual course for experienced government contracting professionals. The Institute considers problems without definite answers and proposes strategies that will inform your work.

The foundation of the Institute is its exceptional faculty – professionals with years of practical experience. Similar to our classroom version, each session will be spent in a variety of ways: lectures; illustrative examples; discussions; and considering questions on any procurement subject – not just what is on the schedule. You and your peers will be able to ask questions and challenge instructors in a thought-provoking way. You will take away useful tools and information going into the next fiscal year.
