Who We Are Now

About the Veterans Business Outreach Center Program

Our mission: The UTRGV Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) is designed to help create, retain and develop businesses and to contribute to the success of entrepreneurs who are members of the U.S. military community including Veterans, Service-Disabled Veterans, Reservists, National Guard members and Active-duty service members preparing to transition from military service to business ownership.

Get motivated to find out more about us by seeing how our staff members selflessly engage with the veteran community in their Boots to Business seminars! You know what's even better? It's a Youtube video.
