The Building Bridges to Careers Makerspace in Marietta is reopening on June 8 after closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Makerspace provides support for aspiring entrepreneurs, including career mentoring for local youth, entrepreneurial development opportunities, a small business incubator, and more. It also offers courses in a number of creative endeavors like fiber arts, woodwork, stained glass, and others for those who are casually interested as well as those hoping to turn their hobby into a business.
“[Our classes are] for people who are in the developmental stages of wanting to take on a hobby that they could possibly make money off of later. Or just really interested in doing stained glass or woodwork. They can spend time and collaborate with like-minded community members and other creatives,” said Jared Wittekind, Makerspace coordinator.
