The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

CraftNet is an international network of community colleges devising innovative ways through
partnerships to develop artisan-based strengths into a sustainable growth sector for each of
their service areas.

Projects at each college integrate various aspects of design, production,
technology, marketing, collaboration, and business management skills, and include ways to
attract low-income and nontraditional learners.

CraftNet’s website at http://www.
craftnetglobal.com contains a curriculum designed for artists who want to use ecommerce,
galleries displaying work from students and faculty at member colleges, and past issues of
CraftNet Sketches.
