What is the CERT Program?
The Central Certification (CERT) Program is a small business certification program sponsored collaboratively by four local government jurisdictions: Hennepin County, City of Minneapolis, Ramsey County, and the City of St. Paul. Rather than operating separate certification efforts, as they have in the past, the participating jurisdictions have come together to create a “one-stop shop” for certification–the first successful effort of its kind in the greater Twin Cities marketplace.
