Post-9/11 military veterans with disabilities have an innovative entrepreneurship and small business management program they can attend for free in seven universities across the United States. The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) is a nine day course to help wounded warriors launch new businesses or enhance a company they have already begun. The fee for the EBV, food, housing and travel expenses is provided by the select universities, corporate sponsors and alumni.
The EBV is a mix of experiential training workshops and classes. From writing business plans, raising capital, and attracting clients, the course covers it all. The EBV is held at solid, business-minded universities including Syracuse University, University of Connecticut, Purdue University, and other schools. Support and technical assistance is also given for a year after the course is taken.
Syracuse University and Florida State University also have an Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans? Families. Family caregivers of disabled veterans and spouses of fallen soldiers can utilize the program to kick-start their business too.
?By being an entrepreneur, we are helping with the economic recovery,? said Randy Blass, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who serves as director for the FSU program. ?You are creating jobs. That message is not lost on someone who still wants to serve and is looking for some identity to latch onto?We talk about business. We are going forward. We are not looking backwards.?
Alumni of the program have started and enhanced many types of businesses. The programs cater to all business ideas ? the only must is to have the spirit of entrepreneurship and be open to thinking about new ways to improve your business acumen.
