They said Support workers Jodie Dunn and Trevor Young have sung the praises of tutors at Redcar & Cleveland College after completing a Circular Saw training course. They work in the Swan Garden Furniture enterprise at Upsall Hall Rural Centre near Guisborough, where they support adults with learning difficulties to gain new work skills. Both come from a background of care work, and while Trevor has skills in metal work, they needed vital training when they took up the role of bespoke furniture-building at the learning disabilities day centre. They were enrolled on a half-day course at Redcar & Cleveland College to enable them to get the best use out of circular saws when building a variety of garden furniture, bin covers and planters, which are then sold to members of the public and local authorities. If I m being honest, when I was told I was going on a course I wasn t very enthusiastic, said Trevor. I didn t think it would be very useful, but I couldn t have been more wrong. The course was excellent. We were taught not only how to use a variety of circular saws for cutting wood and getting the best finish, but how to use them safely. Hilary McGee, Community Inclusion Manager at the centre, said: Redcar & Cleveland College was excellent. They asked us what we needed and how we wanted the course delivered and then they worked around us it was easy. We would definitely use the College again. Jodie Dunn Support Worker The course was excellent. We learned things about handling circular saws and working in a building environment that we would never have picked up ourselves. The course was invaluable. 4 www.cleveland.ac.uk 01642 513200
