Participants reported high satisfaction, new skills, creative output and greater technology confidence, while identifying promotion, access and environmental improvements.
Key findings
- Participants rated the program very highly and reported knowledge, skills, unique products and technology confidence. Service gaps concerned communication, access and the physical environment.
Why this matters globally
