If you are starting or growing your veteran-owned business, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering Boots to Business | Reboot, a free entrepreneurship training program from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, at Clear Path for Veterans in Chittenango. Veterans of all eras, service members (including National Guard and Reserves) and their spouses are eligible to enroll in classes.
Boots to Business | Reboot is an entrepreneurial education and training program offered by the SBA as part of the Department of Defense’s Transition Assistance Program (TAP). This training program is designed for Veterans and their dependents who have already made the transition back to civilian life.
This is a two-step training program that provides participants an overview of business ownership as a career vocation, an 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 — including SBA resources available to help access start-up capital and additional technical assistance.
Step one is the Introduction to Entrepreneurship course which is instructed by SBA and its partners who are skilled business advisors. Step two is one of the online follow-on courses instructed by a consortium of professors and skilled business advisors from the SBA Network.
For more information, contact Michael Stout of the SBA at [email protected] or 315-471-9393 ext. 226.
