The Business Outreach Program is a free service designed to identify the needs of local employers and connect them with resources and solutions that remove barriers to growth. Many of the visits by the Business Outreach team to Gwinnett companies have led to the creation of new programs and services that support businesses in succeeding and thriving in Gwinnett. An hour long in-person visit is an essential first step within the program.
