In order to graduate the professionals were required to successfully execute a business project and a community project.
For their Community Project, the Cohort adopted the Gillards playing field in St. Peters which they outfitted with new amenities and a facelift. The Business Project was a Fashion show and cocktail at the Eco Park.
Proceeds from the Fashion Cocktail event will be donated to the Clothing and Textile Departments of various high schools.
