Pathway in
Entrepreneurship
NVLF’s Entrepreneurship Pathway Program supports Military Community Advocates (MCAs) who have developed Entrepreneurial service programs and military-connected students pursuing careers as Entrepreneurs. The program provides opportunities to develop relevant leadership experience in Entrepreneurship while on campus. It pairs military-connected students with mentorship, networking, and career planning resources to support their service programs and their post-college transition as Entrepreneurs.
The Entrepreneurship Pathway helps military-connected students recognize and pursue career opportunities as Entrepreneurs while making a positive difference on their campuses. Building a corps of Entrepreneurship MCAs and military-connected students serves two purposes:
• expanding supportive services for the military-connected community on college campuses; and
• elevating career opportunities for those seeking to become Entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship Program Components:
• Leadership development through campus-based Entrepreneurship initiatives
• Direct mentorship from and networking opportunities with Entrepreneurs
• Career planning support tailored to Entrepreneurship
• Service scholarship support for military-connected students developing Entrepreneurship related programs
• Professional development workshops focused on Entrepreneurship trends and opportunities
