VBOtp is the acronym for Virtual Business Owners Training Program. VBO is the acronym for Virtual Business Owners. VBO is an entrepreneurial initiative which was launched back in June 2002, to educate military spouses on portable career opportunities in a new and rapidly growing industry called Virtual Business Ownership. VBO's mission is first and foremost to educate its target market (relocating and transitioning military spouses, retiring and separating military members) on portable career options and basic concepts associated with starting, growing, and managing a virtual business in cyberspace. We accomplish this by connecting program participants to the information, resources, and subject matter experts. VBO delivers an interactive online community where members can learn and access business resources related to starting, growing, and managing a virtual business in cyberspace. - Updated: May 29, 2006
