Military spouses make great entrepreneurs, and small-business ownership can be a transferable vocation that supports frequent relocation, a part of the landscape for many military families. The Pathway to Business course introduces military spouses to the key elements of entrepreneurship at no cost. 💰“Funded in part by a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.” What You’ll Learn In this course, military spouses are introduced to a broad spectrum of entrepreneurial topics, including market research, economics, legal considerations, and finance. You’ll also learn about additional resources available to military spouses for accessing startup capital, receiving technical assistance, earning contracting opportunities, and more. Sign up for an in-person or virtual class or reach out to your local Veterans Business Outreach Center or SBA District Office to see if the Military Spouse Pathway to Business course is right for you. If you don’t see a class that works with your schedule or want to view other in-person classes near you, check out Boots to Business or Boots to Business Reboot class schedules. Military spouses are welcome and encouraged to attend. Join from the meeting link https://cgtc.webex.com/cgtc/j.php?MTID=mc6144f954500efc947de0e1ee8cdcbd2 Meeting password: SqKQTXcN723
