ENTERPRISE — The Northeast Oregon Economic Development District, based in Enterprise, is partnering with Reinventing Rural to bring two different business workshops to Union and Wallowa counties.

CO.STARTERS CORE provides entrepreneurs and business owners with an action-driven, collaborative process to refine their business idea. During the 10-session program, participants identify assumptions about why and how their businesses will work and then talk to customers to validate their ideas.

These free classes start Tuesday, Jan. 17, in Enterprise and Thursday, Jan. 19, in La Grande. Classes run 6-9 p.m. and will be facilitated by Lisa Dawson, NEOEDD’s executive director. Register at www.reinventing

CO.STARTERS Bootcamp is a two-day workshop where entrepreneurs will collaboratively work with peers to strategize, problem-solve and apply business basics to their idea or venture. The workshop will help businesses understand their business model, market their business and build momentum with smart goal setting.

The free intensive workshop will be facilitated by Brad Attig with Foundry Collective and Reinventing Rural.

The Friday-Saturday bootcamp will be held Jan. 27-28 in Wallowa, Feb. 3-4 in Union and March 10-11 in Elgin. For full details and to register, go to www.reinventingrural.com/
