FEATURED GUEST: Thomas P. Dee, President of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation SEMINAR: Entrepreneurship Training for Women who are Veterans or members of Military Families
Register: events.sba.gov
When: Thursday, May 1, 2014
Where: Veterans One-stop Center of WNY, 1280 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14209
Veterans are natural entrepreneurs. They are disciplined, goal-oriented self-starters. Accustomed to accountability, they know the value of being decisive and flexible. This year more than 250,000 service members will transition into civilian life. With the jobless rate persistently high, and unemployment among veterans outpacing the national average, training in entrepreneurship makes sense. Leveraging the talents of service members will promote self-employment and will help stimulate the economy.
This series will provide you with the basics of entrepreneurship, to help move your business idea forward. The series will run Thursday evenings from 5:30-7:30pm.
Program Dates and Topics:
May 1—Risk Management from the Insurance Perspective
May 15—Marketing and Social Media
May 29—The Economics of Small Business Start-Up
