The goal of the Civil Rights Contractor Compliance/ DBE Training Symposium was to strengthen the Equal Employment Opportunity programs of both MODOT and Missouri businesses by encouraging the development of a diverse workforce. The workshop provided Prime Contractors, Sub-Contractors, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) with tools and knowledge to enhance the growth of their businesses.
