Crafters Program Panel

For you as a crafter to enjoy the services of the CCDI, your first port of call is to make an appointment with the Programme Panel.

Every Wednesday (except the first of each month) we convene a group panel of our enterprise development, product support and market access staff members, who meet with crafters on an individual appointment basis for 50 minutes.

This is an opportunity for you to show your products, talk about your business, have a discussion about your challenges and opportunities and get some ideas about how you could be addressing them. You will also find out more about our programmes and activities and which of these might be suitable for you.

Call 460-3982/3662 to register on our database and for an appointment with the Programme Panel. Registering your email on our database will ensure that you receive our monthly newsletter and are updated on activities and opportunities.
