SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Boots to Business is an entrepreneurial
education initiative offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA) as a career track within the Department of Defense's revised
Training Assistance Program. The curriculum provides valuable
assistance to transitioning service members exploring self-employment
opportunities by leading them an overview of the key steps for
evaluating business concepts and the foundational knowledge required
for developing a business plan. Participants are also introduced to SBA
resources available to help access startup capital and additional
technical assistance.
The Boots to Business Post Course surveys will be online, voluntary
surveys that enable the Boots to Business program office to capture
data related but not limited to the effectiveness of all Boots to
Business courses and the quality of the
[[Page 64987]]
instructors and materials, and number of small businesses created as a
result of participating in Boots to Business. In an effort to improve
response rates and better capture participant feedback, the Boots to
Business survey will be administered to participants, using an online
form, immediately prior to the final course module.
Every 12 months following course completion, a follow up survey
will be emailed to all participants, to measure participant outcomes as
the SBA seeks to gauge the impact of course completion on the creation
of veteran owned small businesses or the motivation and confidence of
veterans to pursue business ownership. Participants will be surveyed
once a year for 5 years following course completion to allow for
business incubation.
