About ACP (and EBV):

American Corporate Partners is a nationwide mentoring program that matches employees from some of the nation's largest corporations and universities with OIF/OEF veterans for the purpose of mentoring, networking, and career counseling.  Transitioning from military service to the civilian sector can be difficult, but ACP is dedicated to helping veterans develop the valuable relationships, key skills, and action plans needed for success in private enterprise.   

In 2010, ACP launched its Small Business Initiative which matches veteran entrepreneurs with small-business mentors. ACP and Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) have worked closely to ensure that upon graduation from the ten-day-intensive, EBV graduates are matched in a one-year mentoring relationship, which builds upon their experience in the program.

Please contact Amanda Gustafson (agustafson@acp-usa.org) to further discuss ways in which your Biz Outreach Center can partner with ACP, so that together, we can make mentoring opportunities available to as many veterans as possible.
