Creative Industries
As part of an ongoing work place or a short-term project, individuals can be involved in a creative business that produces greetings cards sold within the prison.
During this project individuals can complete a level 1 OCN Creative Arts Qualification with embedded key skills.
In the workshop individuals can develop the skills needed in the workplace. They work as individuals and as part of a team to produce products, design their own ideas, and see it develop through to production and sales. This programme helps to give insight into all the areas involved in a business and can help those who want to think about self-employment or help develop skills for the future workplace.
All individuals have the opportunity to gain experience in all areas of the business including customer consultation, design, evaluation, planning, producing, quality control, stock taking, processing orders, and monitoring sales.
