I recently had the distinguished honor of addressing the graduating class of the VietnameseAmerican Entrepreneur Training Program IVETP] at Georgetown University. The 42 graduating students. along with their instructors. should serve as an inspiration to all of US. The goal of the VietnameseAmerican Entrepreneur Training Program is to build on the experience and education of new immigrant Americans by training these individuals to enter the mainstream of American business and generate opportunities for others. Most of these students have been well educated in Vietnam. but lack the understanding of how to transfer these skills to American business. Through this bilingual program. students are able to learn approximately 1 years worth of material in 4 months.
