This Veterans Day, Disability:IN proudly introduces a unique program aimed at supporting established Service-Disabled Veteran Disability-Owned Business Enterprises (SDV-DOBE) ready to advance sustainable business growth.
This comprehensive eight-month development initiative unites fifty service-disabled veteran business owners, fifty Disability:IN corporate partner mentors, and subject-matter experts. Together, they will create a collaborative and engaging learning experience designed to elevate these businesses to new heights.
