Reach Your Potential.

Projects far exceed the capacity of our region’s current pool of small-emerging construction businesses. We’ll take you through the process of becoming a certified small and emerging construction business in the City of Omaha. We’re dedicated to providing training for construction entrepreneurs and individuals — developing the talent needed in our region’s construction industry. We work with community partners across the region to provide educational and technical assistance.

Program Overview:

The REACH Program is a strategic initiative of the Greater Omaha Chamber, designed to support small and emerging businesses (SEBs), primarily within the construction industry, while also extending assistance to other businesses with opportunities in contracting and procurement. Our mission is to empower these businesses by providing comprehensive education, technical assistance, mentoring, business connections, and networking opportunities. Since its launch in 2015, REACH has successfully served over 500 businesses, helping them grow their revenues, expand their workforce, and secure valuable contracts.

A key focus of the REACH program is on capacity-building and inclusion, helping SEBs and local employers meet their educational and developmental goals. Supported by a dedicated team, REACH is backed by a network of strategic investors, partners, and volunteers committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive construction sector within the Greater Omaha area. Through REACH, the Greater Omaha Chamber is not only driving the growth and success of small and emerging businesses but also contributing to a more robust and capable construction industry that benefits the entire community.
