Veterans are turning their ideas into business plans this week at Wright State University.
An Entrepreneurial Boot Camp for Veterans is being held this week at Wright State, thanks to Reynolds and Reynolds, which is sponsoring the event.
Tim Green, a veteran, is attending the boot camp this week. He said the program is helping him connect the dots.
"A lot of information I didn't know about, or I'm not strong with, and it's enabled me to ask questions, get some feedback and then start thinking about those things and how to be successful," Green said.
Elizabeth Harding, program manager for the boot camp at Wright State, said helping veterans be successful after their service is the goal of the program.
"A lot of veterans leave the service and they might not know what their next steps are or they might feel a little bit lost and there are a lot of them with really great ideas and they don't have the tools to make those ideas a reality," Harding said.
