The North Carolina Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC) has opened registration for the latest in their online course offerings created to educate and provide support for entrepreneurs across the state.
The upcoming course titled “Taking the Leap For Military Entrepreneurs” will be taking place online from Aug. 23-30 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. This course is open to anyone connected to the military whether it be active, reserve, spouse or Veteran.
"We are thrilled to offer the Military Taking the Leap course in late August and October 2024, taught by Lindsay Hinger. As a two-time business owner, Veteran, board member of the NC Veteran Business Association and SBTDC Business Launch Specialist, Lindsay brings unparalleled expertise and leadership to our program. She's the perfect instructor to guide Veterans on their entrepreneurial journey," shared Interim Director of the SBTDC Business Launch Program Neal McTighe, PhD.

The course will also allow participants to receive access to funding opportunities which, according to the SBTDC, is one of the biggest barriers faced by military entrepreneurs.
"Our military-focused cohort provides comprehensive business development support, empowering participants to transform their entrepreneurial visions into reality. Through interactive workshops, peer networking and expert guidance, we equip Veterans and military spouses with the essential tools and knowledge to launch successful businesses,” said Course Instructor Lindsay Hinger. “Our program focuses on building strong foundations in business ownership, while offering ongoing mentorship to navigate challenges and achieve long-term success."
