A female student is sat at a table inside an office room. A male student to her left is placing a cup of coffee and a saucer down in front of her. There is another female student to her right watching the interaction. A mentor is behind the girl at the table, to the right of the male student, also watching the interaction. All of the people in the photo are wearing aprons with 'The Usual Place' logo emblazoned on them.
We have a new group of S3 students who have started on their School Work Experience Placement, in collaboration with Dumfries High School. Here are students Jack, Layla, and Martha on their induction with Lived Experience Mentor, Kat – they are practicing good customer care and enhancing their customer service skills. As well as this, they learned all about The Usual Place and our values, gained an understanding of basic food hygiene and safety, and had a fire safety tour of the building and learned our procedures. What a great start they have all made!
Well done Jack, Layla, Martha, & Kat!
