Entrepreneurship Education and its Role in Transitional Entrepreneurship as Veterans Transition From Military to Civilian Life

Programs dedicated to entrepreneurship education of military veterans in the U.S. have expanded remarkably in the last decade. However, much remains to be discovered about the current state of the effectiveness of these programs. This empirical analysis uses the National Survey of Military-Affiliated Entrepreneurs (NSMAE) (n = 2649) to investigate the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and training as veterans transition from military to civilian life. This paper provides evidence that entrepreneurship education and training are significant for individuals during their transition. Our results emphasize the need for greater interdisciplinary research focusing on entrepreneurship education and transitional entrepreneurship to inform and expand theorizing and new policy development in supporting of military veterans.
