SBA Offers Free Business Training Workshop for Veterans
The U.S. Small Business Administration is hosting two entrepreneurship training sessions for Veterans, National Guard members, Reservists and their spouses across West Virginia this spring.
Boots to Business: Reboot is a FREE training session that introduces veterans to the fundamentals of business ownership and the key steps for evaluating business concepts and developing a business plan. The training is hosted by the SBA West Virginia District Office and the Veterans Business Outreach Center and features additional presentations by SBA resource partners, including SCORE, America’s SBDC West Virginia (the Small Business Development Centers), and local bankers, lawyers and small business owners.
Boots to Business: Reboot is available to eligible Veterans of all eras, Service members (including members of the National Guard and Reserves) and their spouses. The public is also welcome to attend. This course is instructed by SBA and its partners, who are skilled business advisors. The following dates and locations are currently available for registration:
