Strong & Starlike Consulting, Inc. managing the CERT program
The CERT certification collaborative is thrilled to announce an exciting new development in our commitment to supporting small, women, and minority-owned business enterprises. Following a Request for Proposals process last fall, Strong & Starlike Consulting, Inc. was awarded a contract to manage the CERT program. This change will bring enhanced efficiency, greater accessibility, and improved resources for our certified businesses.
Strong & Starlike is dedicated to providing top-notch support and streamlined processes. We believe this transition will foster even stronger partnerships and drive meaningful growth within our diverse business community.
During this transition period, we will be pausing new certifications to ensure a smooth and seamless handover. This temporary pause will allow us to implement the new processes effectively and minimize any potential disruptions. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Processing of “New” certification applications will resume in July.
We are enthusiastic about the positive impact this change will have and are confident that it will further empower small, women, and minority-owned businesses to thrive and succeed.

Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this exciting new chapter!
