Fife Job Contract - Hiding the Wiring

~ Hiding the Wiring ~

Following the process with our client and the employer. 

We meet Deborah Cameron Creative Artist a few weeks ago as she became one of the latest employers to benefit from the support and funding via the Fife Job Contract.  

Now with a few weeks under her belt Deborah has a new employee, Lauren Clunie. Lauren has entered a world of creativity, with new skills, systems and customer engagement – a lot to take on.  

So how are you getting on.... 

Week1 –Deborah showed me around the unit, gave me an induction to the machines I will be using and her methods for using each machine.  

 This week, it was coasters. I was introduced to a new program Sawgrass for printing templates and Canva for making designs and templates. I worked alongside 

 Deborah so I could observe the process for making the coasters, learning  

the tips for the best results.     

‘For my first attempt I felt really good about what I was doing & was really  

impressed by seeing the design go from coaster to coaster,’ said Lauren.  

I learned that customers often like to personalise coaster. Deborah talked 

me through the need to keep in mind the fonts and text size to  

be a repeatable design.  

What an outstanding result!        

We will catch up with Lauren and Deborah again soon and discover what new skills and equipment Lauren will be using.       If you are an employer, we can support you for recruitment, we can help promote additional jobs, Modern Apprenticeships and provide support on multiple fronts. For eligible clients there may be funding support available. If you would like more information, drop us an email at – FJC@fife.gov.uk
