Ventura County SCORE wants veterans to know about its new program that offers a free $125.00 coupon for business training.  Any vets who are interested in obtaining the coupon can go to the website -  www.vetsfastlaunch.org/sponsor-offerings.  To register or get questions answered regarding the workshops and training schedule, visit http://www.ventura.score.org.

SCORE workshops cost $59.00, so a veteran (or family member) would be eligible for two of our workshops for free with the coupon.  This program has limited funding and estimates are that 2,000 coupons will be available nationwide according to Barry Krauss, a SCORE representative.
