Specialty Technical Consultants, Inc. (STC) has received certification as a Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) from the Supplier Clearinghouse for the California Public Utilities Commission (Certificate #10AS0062).Companies committed to diversity in the work-place can now contract for Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) services with a highly qualified woman-owned business. “We realized that there is a shortage of qualified minority EHS contractors that can meet customer insurance requirements,” said STC President, Barb Ruble. “Government at multiple levels mandates percentages for utilization of minority owned businesses.Our new status will help clients meet their legal requirements without compromising on the level of service that they require.”

STC has also applied for WBE certification through the Women’s Business National Enterprise Council (WBENC).The company is already certified by the State of California/Port of Oakland as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and by a group of seven agencies in southern California, including the Metropolitan Water District, Port of Long Beach, City of San Diego, Los Angeles Unified School District, and the Minority Business Development Agency.
