Back to school – new classes this fall!

YVEN is happy to announce the next round of the Working Lunch Series AND two government contracting 101 workshops.  The Working Lunch Series starts Wednesday, September 9th and will be every other week for four sessions.  Classes are:  Thinking about starting a business?;  Business Plan Basics; Financing your business; and Marketing your business.  These are perfect if you are kicking the idea around of starting a business.  The workshops will be taught by SCORE counselors and professionals with real-world business experience.  Classes are held in Yakima from 11:30 – 1:00 p.m.  Cost is $10.00 if pre-registered or $15.00 at the door and include lunch and materials.

Do you think you have what it takes to sell to the government?  Attend a ‘Government Contracting 101′ class to learn more about government contracting.  These classes are offered in partnership with YCDA ( a Southcentral Washington Procurement Technical Assistance Center) and the Rural Community Development Resources.  They will be offered in English, but taught by a Spanish-speaking instructor so translation is available. 

• The first class will be held Wednesday, September 23rd from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in Yakima.  Cost is $10.00 and includes materials. 
• The second workshop will be held Friday, September 25th from 11:30 – 1:00 at Snipes Restaurant in Sunnyside.  Cost is $15.00 and includes lunch and materials.

To register for one or all of the classes, please call Tammy Everts at 509.575.1140 or email tammy@ycda.com
