So I see this could go a couple different ways, in inverse order of revenue-generating opportunities:
-a program to teach skills worthy of living HUSPick
-a practicum of skills for PDC graduates to work in the real world as practitioners
-a potpourri of adult-learning opportunities for fun and recreation.
I like this list as a starting point, the one change i would make is home brewing should/could be changed to fermentation. some people such as Paul dont drink, as such would have no need to learn brewing, but could use some of the principals of fermentation when making salami, kifer, kumbutcha, kimchi, etc. and yes i do realize that food preservation is in the list
