The Veteran's Institute for Procurement (VIP) and NaVOBA have partnered with 15 of America's largest corporations to develop and deliver the

VIP Commercial curriculum. This initiative, aligned with the mission to Arm Vets to Win, leverages our Founding Partners and subject matter experts to equip veterans with essential skills for entering and expanding in the commercial sector. Participants will learn how to effectively compete, comply, and perform, while gaining access to supplier diversity representatives crucial for achieving veteran business goals.

Upon completion, graduates will receive a certification signaling their readiness for procurement, empowering them to market their businesses effectively. This comprehensive training will be held at the Bolger Center in Potomac, Maryland, from October 13-17, 2024, and is offered nationwide at no cost, covering accommodations, meals, and instruction. Through this collaboration, VIP aims to pilot a Commercial program that provides vital training and mentoring to support our veterans' entrepreneurial endeavors.

Thank you to these amazing supporters of NaVOBA and Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises, your generosity is helping to grow awareness and increase opportunities for our Heroes.
