Work Skills: Producing a Product
All businesses begin with a small idea. With hard work, dedication and perseverance, ideas can grow into a successful business. Whether you are baking cakes, building toys or creating artwork, producing products could lead to running your own business or simply to generate some extra cash. Producing a product offers an opportunity to learn and develop skills in choosing an appropriate product to make. Valuable entrepreneurial ideas and skills may be gained from being involved in a production activity, even if on a small scale.
In this unit, you will learn to understand simple production processes, and identify practical skills in the use of tools and equipment needed to produce products.
