Intercomm is now recruiting for The Women’s Enterprise Programme (WEAVE2). There are 14 places available for women who wish to turn their creative talents into money-making ideas. The programme will begin on Friday 22nd September at Intercomm, 290 Antrim Road.

“We are hosting an open day at Intercomm, 290 Antrim Road on Friday 8th September from 10am-1pm. This gives women an opportunity to meet the teaching team & find out if the course suits their needs.” Explained Maria Brady, WEAVE2 Project Manager, Intercomm

WEAVE2 Programme will teach women how to make & sell fashionable hand-made products. It is a mixture of craft & business skills involving product research, evaluating market trends & colours for the year ahead, budgeting, pricing & business planning. Women are instructed by a team of Business & Craft professionals.

The programme is an opportunity to mix business with crafts & gain 3 qualifications. The year long programme enables women to obtain OCN ll in Running a Small Business (in association with North City Business Centre), OCN ll in Perspectives in conflict (in association with Gaslight Productions) and NCFE level 1 in Creative Crafts (in association with WEA).

WEAVE2 will run on a Friday morning between 10am -1pm, with family friendly holidays. There is also an option to participate in craft fairs & gain expert advice from buyers.

This project is part-financed by the European Union through the European Union Programme for Peace & Reconciliation (Peace II) under the direction of the Training for Women Network (TWN) and is an initiative of Intercomm, a cross-community group project based on the Antrim Road.
