TAKE A WORKSHOP
At The WorkShop Mercantile, we believe in the value of learning, the power of knowledge, and the ability of people to control their destinies.
If they can’t, they should take a WorkShop.
Why WorkShops
Everyone wants an upgrade. So they take a class, complete a course, earn a new badge. It’s a step forward through a Masterclass, Seminar, or Bootcamp.
For us, it’s something bigger.
We call it WorkShop - a Super-Class that bridges the gap between academic theory and practical training to create applied-skills development for working professionals and students who want to upgrade their careers and lives.
