Why is the NorCal Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) involved?

---

This program is a resource to provide Veterans with education and support for their entrepreneurial endeavors. After completing Boots to Business/Reboot and/or our specialty VBOC workshops, many VBOC clients are looking to gain more education around the concept of small business. This no-cost course provides a great avenue for Veterans to connect with the community college system and learn from mentors, likeminded Veterans pursuing small business, and instructors.
