Veterans must find a way to transition into civilian life as productive citizens. Many call upon their entrepreneurial spirit and start businesses with the goal of entering government and corporate supply chains..

They are getting help from government agencies and corporations that are offering high quality entrepreneurship training and opportunities to meet corporate decision-makers. These opportunities are important to all veterans and service-disabled veterans (SDVs) interested in succeeding in the business world.
