Students who work in the kitchen have achieved their Food Hygiene Certificate at the Adult Education Centre. There are three groups that work at a local Garden centre. Here they plant and grow a variety of plants for sale to the general public. They are also responsible for keeping the Garden centre maintained and clean. They are able to work towards a certificate in horticulture.
Students collect paper and cans from various locations in around the community.
They take these back to a re-cycling centre where the cans are separated and crushed. This project gives students an opportunity to meet members of the community as well as provide a valuable service. Some students already experience work placements and our future aims will be directed towards a sheltered working environment with a view to paid employment. There are opportunities for people with autism to either continue or further their education by working towards qualifications and employment prospects. We have students working in all of these areas to achieve their qualifications.
