In the job creation initiative, 20 members of the local community are employed as trainee craftspeople, guides and caterers. Training has included instruction in computer skills, heritage, crafts, life skills, first aid, entrepreneurship, book-keeping, guiding, expression and customer care, catering and nature conservation.
The craft shop serves as the focal point for craft sales, catering and guided tours to local rock paintings.
This programme is administered through the Krakadouw Trust, established with funds from the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, and run from the property adjacent to the UCT Living Landscape Centre in Park Street. The garages of this property have recently been converted into a workshop and craft outlet that serve as the focal point for craft sales, catering and guided tours of local rock paintings.
The project has realised its first income in the form of sales of books, tours and crafts during the August and September 2002 spring flower season.
