Crafting a Winning Capability Statement

To effectively market yourself in the government sector, your company should have a corporate résumé. Government agencies call this a capability statement. A capabilities statement should contain vital sets of information that communicate to the buyers why they should feel confident about awarding you a contract.

This workshop provides detailed instructions on how to write a good capability statement and it will provide a how-to demo of using Canva (or other publishing applications) to draft a Capability Statement for your company.

To take full advantage of the course, please come with your laptops loaded with your preferred publishing application of choice.
