EASTON, Pa. - ColoradoDesk -- America's Workforce Solution, LLC (AWS), an SBA 8(a)-certified, Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) with more than a decade in the federal marketplace, today announced that it is now an OpenAI SMB Channel Partner. The designation positions AWS to help small and mid-sized businesses across the country discover, purchase, deploy, and adopt OpenAI's offerings, turning the fastest-moving technology of our era into practical, day-one results for the owners who keep their communities running.

The timing is no accident. An estimated 92% of Fortune 500 companies already use OpenAI's products, yet most small businesses remain on the sidelines - not for lack of interest, but for lack of a guide. In a 2026 Goldman Sachs survey, 73% of small businesses said they would benefit from additional access to AI training and implementation resources, a clear signal that the barrier is no longer access to the technology, but the confidence and know-how to put it to work.

That is precisely the gap AWS is built to close. As an OpenAI SMB Channel Partner, AWS becomes a trusted, accountable guide that walks owners from first conversation to full deployment without the guesswork, and without the enterprise price tag.

"Small businesses are the engine of the American economy, and they deserve the same AI advantage as the biggest players in the room," said Calvetta Phair, Founder and CEO of America's Workforce Solution, LLC. "I've spent my career closing gaps, making sure that access to technology is never the thing standing between a person, or a business, and their potential. This partnership lets us do that at a scale I could only have dreamed of when I started. We don't just hand a small business the keys to AI; we teach them to drive."

A Mission Rooted in Access

For Founder Calvetta Phair, this work is personal. AWS contributes a portion of revenue from awarded contracts to The On It Foundation, the national 501(c)(3) digital-equity and STEM/STEAM education nonprofit she founded in 1999 after personally encountering barriers to obtaining a donated computer. Since then, the Foundation has placed more than 7,500 free computers with under-resourced families and students nationwide. The same belief that drove that work, that no one should be locked out of technology - now powers AWS's push to put enterprise-grade AI within reach of every small business.
