The Youth Development section of George Municipality in conjunction with the Pacaltsdorp Community Business Association (PCBA) held a patternmaking workshop for 11 people in February.

The workshop was facilitated by Catherine Stoffels, an entrepreneur and seasoned trainer, who has lectured at FET colleges as well as training on other programmes. According to Jonel Kerspuy, Coordinator of the George Municipality Youth Development section, these skills transfer workshops aim to equip young and old with the skills and knowledge to become employable and or start their own businesses.

Business mentoring and coaching are provided by the PCBA to these and other entrepreneurs. The training took place at the PCBA venue in Pacaltsdorp on the corner of Kerk and Mission Streets. The training included the basic theoretical aspects of Patternmaking and practical exposure to patternmaking.
