During the third annual celebration of National Veterans Small Business Week Nov. 2-6, the Small Business Administration will host 30 Boots to Business: Reboot entrepreneurship training events nationwide.
This coming year, the SBA will be able to present more than 100 Boots to Business: Reboot entrepreneurial training workshops. The other big news is that for the first time, the program will be available to military veterans of all eras. This also includes service members (including members of the National Guard and reserve members) and their spouses.
The Boots to Business: Reboot curriculum will introduce veterans to the fundamentals of business ownership, including evaluating business concepts and developing a business plan. Course participants will be introduced to their local SBA resource partners, consisting of Veterans Business Outreach Centers, Women’s Business Centers, Small Business Development Centers and SCORE.
Additionally, upon completion of the introductory course, participants will be eligible to register for “Foundations of Entrepreneurship,” an eight-week, online course taught by professors from a consortium of accredited universities, and led by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University. The course offers in-depth instruction on the elements of a business plan and techniques, and tips for starting a business.
