The Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) Program opened in 2016 and is funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Veteran Business Development and is directed by the Small Business Act (Title 15 U.S.C. sec 637 (b)) to participate in the Defense Department’s Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The SoCal VBOC coordinates and facilitates the Boots to Business program held at Camp Pendleton, Naval Station San Diego and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar military bases. These programs are taught by staff members of SoCal VBOC and the SBA District Offices along with staff from SBA Resource Partners (SDBC, SCORE, WBC). The SoCal VBOC serves transitioning service members, Guard, Reserve, Veterans of all eras and military-connected family members in San Diego and Imperial Counties. Services include workshops and one on one consulting at no cost to the veteran. There are 28 VBOCs around the country, with three locations in California – NorCal VBOC in Sacramento, Los Angeles VBOC in Long Beach, and SoCal in Cardiff, California.
