Finding a job after leaving the military can be hard. For those who were disabled during their time of service, it can be particularly difficult. About 250,000 service members transition to civilian life annually, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Small Business Administration wants more training for veterans who want to start their own business. A new program aims to encourage nonprofits, schools, government agencies and private companies to offer entrepreneur training for all veterans, including servicedisabled veterans and people in the Reserves.

The “Service Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Program” will fund a project for one year, with three one-year renewal options. The SBA said it expects to make six awards between $50,000 and $150,000 in 2022.

Organizations can apply via grants.gov. The deadline is Aug. 18.

“The SBA continues to work to remove barriers for service-disabled veterans who are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship after their military career,” said Larry Stubblefield, associate administrator for SBA’S Office of Veterans Business Development.

Veterans can look elsewhere for assistance, too. There are 22 Veteran Business Outreach Centers that offer “Boots to Business” classes for active-duty servicemen and veterans, as well as their spouses, which offer training on starting your own business. They also offer workshops, counseling and mentorships.

The federal government also sets aside contracting dollars for businesses owned by veterans. And small businesses owned by veterans might be eligible to buy surplus property from the federal government.
