An intensive two-day training session will prepare interested contractors for the state's licensing exam.

The instructional training program is open to entrepreneurs interested in starting a construction company or existing unlicensed contractors looking to expand current operations.

The training will be held 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on March 10 and from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on March 11 at the South Central Planning and Development Commission, 5058 West Main St., Houma.
