The Creative Hub is a developmental programme geared towards shaping personal and professional growth of beneficiaries and also to assist in decision making, problem solving and personal branding for the creatives. Creative Hubs have a sustainable and complex balance. This brings us to the value that every creative hub brings in a wide range of impact on the local creative industry and community such as  job creation, new products and services, financial literacy, talent development to name a few.

The training was centered around pattern making and grading fashion designers in various tailoring skills. It taught them how to design a pattern of their own from scratch and to make garments. The workshop was intended to grade the pattern into different sizes with no fault in measurements.
