Online Self-Help: Syracuse University's Entrepreneurship Bootcamp (EBV) for Veterans with Disabilities

The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) is designed as an intensive training program positioned to offer cutting edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to veterans with disabilities resulting from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The goal of the EBV program is to open the door to entrepreneurship and small business ownership to veterans, developing their competencies in the many steps and activities associated with creating and sustaining an entrepreneurial venture, and also in coordinating with programs and services unique to veterans and others with disabilities.

This program is entirely free to the eligible OEF and OIF Service Connected Disabled Veterans. The program covers all costs (including travel and lodging) of the accepted EBV participants. Ms. Susan Fitzgibbons, VR& E Officer from the Buffalo Regional Office, had initial contact with the program. More information about this program, eligibility requirements, and application procedures can be found at: http://whitman.syr.edu/eee/veterans.

Please note the application deadline for the first bootcamp is
