The EBV programs are closed for 2009. We are now accepting applications for the 2010 EBV programs. The application deadline is late spring 2010. The five EBV programs will take place June–August 2010. Specific dates will be announced at the end of 2009.
The 'Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities' (EBV) offers cutting edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines disabled as a result of their service supporting operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The intent of the EBV is to open the door to entrepreneurial opportunity and small business ownership to you, by developing your competencies in the many steps and activities associated with creating and sustaining an entrepreneurial venture, and also by helping you coordinate your efforts with programs and services for veterans and others with disabilities.
The EBV was first introduced by the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University in 2007, and in 2008, the EBV Consortium of Schools was launched, a national partnership with UCLA Anderson School of Management, Florida State University’s College of Business, Mays Business School at Texas A&M, and the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University. The University of Connecticut's School of Business joined in 2009. All six schools will offer the EBV on their campuses in Summer 2010.
Like the bootcamp you know, this program is intense, rigorous, and challenging. Building upon key elements of SU’s nationally ranked entrepreneurship curriculum, the bootcamp consists of a series of training modules designed to assist you in growing businesses successfully and profitably. A team of experienced faculty and successful entrepreneurs will work with you, providing a fun, interactive, and informative experience. They will introduce entrepreneurship ideas and concepts, and show how to apply them to your current or potential business.The EBV program is offered entirely free to qualified veterans accepted into the program. |
