Testimonials

I’m very excited about the new EDII student pathways program! It’s an engaging and accessible way for young people such as myself to gain valuable exposure for their business and sell their products in a professional setting.

Being a part of Edi’s Maker2Market programs and participating in the market days gave me the skills and experience to build my brand, communicate and express my product ideas, as well as providing an affordable and highly supportive way to emerge into the local market scene.

I always thought I'd get a part-time job when I was 16. Now I think I'll just keep doing products and selling at markets. This program is helping me build my brand and customers.

I love being part of market days with the Maker2Market Program. I'm earning great $, I get to meet other creative teens and my brand and products are getting better known.
