The VOBRT is keenly aware of that and has developed mentor partners who are experts in a variety of business areas and have experienced every scenario a veteran business\u00a0might encounter.\u00a0 Each instructor led training webinar in the VOBRT Education Program is conducted by successful subject-matter-experts (SME) to\u00a0help steer the VOB participants towards success.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Understanding Veteran Certification Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the major\u00a0goals for a participating VOB\u00a0is to achieve their veteran certification of the business.\u00a0 That is why VOBRT\u00a0mentors work diligently to keep veterans focused on understanding the veteran certification process for either corporate,\u00a0government contracting or both.\u00a0 This step-by-step approach will prepare the VOB owner on how to fully engage the corporate supply chain, as well as, doing business with local, state and government\u00a0agencies.\u00a0 Winning contracts is the ultimate goal and VOBRT mentors are instrumental in assisting VOB&#8217;s to be\u00a0fully hands on in all aspects of the business.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Networking is Win-Win for the Mentor\u00a0and the Mentoree<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Networking is an important component to mentorship\u00a0that benefit our VOB members, as well as, VOBRT mentors. Building relationships, cultivating business opportunities and the knowledge to acquire corporate and government\u00a0contacts helps to create business success and future partnerships.\u00a0 Corporate and government\u00a0contracting opportunities are constantly available in a variety of areas and when VOBRT mentors assist VOB&#8217;s,\u00a0they may also discover new ways to benefit their own business\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n<p>Be part of the VOBRT\u00a0Mentorship Program\u00a0that focuses on preparing and building successful veteran owned businesses across America.
