“The two-day kickoff for what we’re calling Battleground to Breaking Ground Entrepreneurial ‘basic training’ will take place at 7D Ranch, 2729 County Road 305,” said Erin Kimbrough, military program coordinator for the Texas AgrAbility program, College Station.
“Participants will be required to attend both days of the program kickoff, which will provide them with unique learning and networking opportunities. One of these will be the introduction to the full Battleground to Breaking Ground Entrepreneurial Training Project,” Kimbrough said. “Participants will learn the goals of the program, what will be provided to them, and what is required of them. They will also learn about additional programs available to them like Texas AgrAbility and VetAdvisor.”
