The National Center for Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP) is the first program in the nation to train Veteran-Owned Small Businesses on how to accelerate their success and growth in the federal contracting market. With funding from state and federal agencies and the support of corporate sponsors, the VIP program is offered at no cost to Veteran business owners from all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Currently, the VIP program offers five (5) market-based in-person training sessions over a 3-day-27-hour period.

In this session, participants learned how the VIP program helps Veteran entrepreneurs create jobs and contribute to economic development across the country and internationally. Since the program's inception, 2,232 Veteran-owned businesses have graduated and, through leveraging the tools, resources, and connections from VIP, secured over $17 Billion in federal prime contract awards.
