The U.S. Small Business Administration’s West Virginia District Office hosts an entrepreneurship training course for Veterans and their spouses Thursday, November 3, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Clarksburg VA Medical Center multi-purpose room on the first floor. The free two hour training includes:
- Why veterans make exceptional business owners.
