Tallahassee, FL (WTXL)--Nearly 20 disabled veterans arrived at Tallahassee Regional Airport June 9th to attend boot camp in the capital city!!

But this is a different kind of boot camp. It's called Entrepreneurship Boot Camp for Veterans with disabilities or EBV. It's a nine day course offered by Florida State University's College of Business.

There are five universities across the country with EBY programs offering a three-week online course, a cost-free on-campus boot camp, and 12 months of ongoing support and mentorship from faculty experts.

June 9th is the opening ceremony where vets will get a chance to hear from others who've been successful entering the business world after attending EBV.
