Wednesday, May 7, 1pm - The House Small Business Committee
This Wednesday, May 7th at 1 pm the House Small Business Committee will highlight initiatives that have helped Veterans become Entrepreneurs. The House Small Business Committee, under the chairmanship of Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO), will hold a hearing Wednesday titled, Military to Entrepreneurship: Private Sector Initiatives to Help Veterans Pursue Business Opportunities.
The hearing will highlight veteran-owned small businesses, as well as private sector efforts that have helped them succeed. Veterans that have served since 2001 face higher unemployment rates than the rest of the population, and by 2040, they will make up more than 50 percent of the total veteran population. While facing challenges in transitioning to new civilian jobs after time in the military, returning service members possess leadership skills that naturally translate to entrepreneurship. In response, several private initiatives have been launched to assist our nation’s heroes to transfer unique skills gained during military service to the world of business.
