January 5, 2017Starting or Growing a Veteran-Owned Business
Veterans have the character, discipline and skills needed to succeed as small business owners and entrepreneurs. Wondering what it takes and how you can prepare? Enroll in Boots to Business Reboot, an entrepreneurship training program for veterans and their spouses.
Boots to Business Reboot is a two-step training program that provides participants an overview of business ownership as a career vocation, and outline and knowledge on the components of a business plan, a practical exercise in opportunity recognition, and an introduction to available public and private sector resources.
Step one is the Introduction to Entrepreneurship course eligible to veterans of all eras, servicemembers (including members of the National Guard or Reserves) and their spouses. This course is instructed by the Small Business Administration and its partners, who are skilled business advisors.
Step two is an eight-week online Foundations of Entrepreneurship course instructed by a consortium of professors and practitioners led by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University.
The Capital Region Course starts Saturday, February 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Arsenal Partnerships’ Veteran Business Outreach Center, 44 Dalliba Avenue, Watervliet. For more information, contact Michael Stout at 315.471.9393, ext. 226 or Amy Amoroso at 518.326.6328.
