The Labor Department helped update the job-hunting seminar that now offers troops tips on using social media, searching for jobs online and researching local job markets. For those who do not plan to seek a job immediately, TAP offers three options: the Boots to Business introduction to entrepreneurship, and classes for those who want to go to college or seek technical training. The entrepreneurship bloc was designed by the Small Business Administration. Beyond the two-day class, troops who want further preparation can take an eight-week online class run by the SBA that will connect them with mentors in the business community. They also can learn how to apply for SBA small-business loans, which offer up to $150,000 in startup capital and are easier to obtain than traditional bank loans.
