SBA announces expansion of program for veterans
The
U.S. Small Business Administration
recently announced a three-year agreement to "expand and deliver
entrepreneurship training for service-disabled veterans of the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan." The agreement with SBA's
Office of Veterans Business Development
will "support the expansion of the year-long Entrepreneurship Bootcamp
for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV)," according to a news release. The management training and mentorship program aims to "maximize small
business programs for veterans, service-disabled veterans,
reserve-component members, and their dependents or survivors." Additionally, the SBA launched an online contracting tutorial on www.sba.gov as part of its efforts to expand services to veterans and service-disabled veterans. Veterans and military spouses who own small businesses can use the free
online course to learn "how to identify and take advantage of federal
contracting opportunities," the release states. Information: www.sba.gov/patriotexpress
