Fox Valley Technical College has once again been awarded a state grant for a program that guides veterans who want to start a business. The Wisconsin Department of Veteran Affairs (WDVA) has announced that FVTC will receive $99,895 to continue the Innovation Accelerator for Veterans.

The program provides entrepreneurial training and technical support, networking opportunities, one-on-one mentoring and startup/growth expenses for veteran-owned businesses, whether it’s to create a source of full-time employment or more of a side business.

FVTC is proud to be the first college or university in Wisconsin to offer this type of training. The FVTC Foundation and FVTC Venture Center work together to administer this program.

Interested veterans can sign up for a complimentary Explore Innovation Accelerator session to learn more about the program. The next cohort of veterans will start in January.
