Professional Practices

EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR SCC MEMBERS: Professional Practices to help you grow your business

Now in its third year, SCC’s Professional Practices program is providing more individualized support with a focus on helping you grow your craft business. This increased support includes a four-month training program and individual consultations, both offered free of charge to SCC members.

TACKLING THE TOUGH QUESTIONS – FOUR MONTH BUSINESS TRAINING

  • The program runs late January to late May 2019. It’s a mixture of group discussions, one-on-one meetings, and course work focusing on business development for a professional craftsperson.
  • Specific dates will be determined via a poll sent to participants to best work within your schedule.
  • You will meet as a group twice per month. Group meetings will offer training sessions with experts and provide time for group discussion so that you can learn from each other’s success and challenges while building a professional network of craftspeople.
  • The specific topics and training that will be offered during the group meetings will be determined by you at our first meeting to ensure the topics meet your needs.
  • Once per month you will meet with our Project Coordinator Michael Peterson to discuss in-depth the opportunities and challenges specific to you.
  • Meetings will be held in Saskatoon but will be available via video conference to allow you to participate from anywhere in the province.
  • This pilot program is available at no cost from January to May 2019.
  • Fees may apply if we connect you to outside professionals.
