Ed. Note: This week the Obama Administration celebrating America’s entrepreneurs and small businesses as part of National Entrepreneurship Week. Join Commerce Secretary Gary Locke this Friday at 1 p.m. for a live chat on entrepreneurship and innovation.
National Entrepreneurship Week follows Veterans Day, the annual moment for Americans to honor all who served. This week, let’s remember that Military Veterans gain valuable experience from their service to our country, making them a sought-after member of the American workforce. They are innovative, dedicated, and trained in the most cutting-edge technologies. Their leadership skills often drive them to entrepreneurship in America’s start-up economy where more jobs are created than in any other sector.
Entrepreneurship is an attractive option for Veterans, but the challenges of starting a new business can be tough. Therefore, across the federal government, a wide array of options serves Veterans interested in overcoming these barriers and starting their own businesses – call them Vetrepreneurs.
