Where ever you have gone in Neath this week you will have seen children from Dwr-y-felin School on work placement. Monday morning Neath businesses were awash with young and eager talent on a mission to find out what it means to "go to work".
We have all done it. The reality is that work placements can be really boring. The old saying of "what you put in,determines what you get out " is very relevant and especially with teenagers as it can sometimes be difficult for them to communicate with adults in an unfamiliar environment.
Our trainee was called Bradley. Sian had asked Bradley to think of a cake he would like to make during the week. Days 1 & 2 Bradley mucked in with the cleaning and the washing up to get a feel for how hard it is working in a catering environment. Days 3,4 & 5 Bradleys creative talents were challenged and this is the cake he made.
We think that it is amazing - truly exceptional for a first attempt. It took Bradley 2 days to complete and in the end we had to shout the La Creme warning "Step away from the Cake".
As well as completing his task he also helped Sian make a number of other orders for this weekend including a Mickey Mousse Cake.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Bradley this past week. His manners and work ethic were first class and he fitted in as part of the team doing whatever was asked of him. He is a credit to his family and his school and with his great attitude he will go a long way in life.
