Catherine in the kitchen next to some scones that are ready to go in the oven. The text on the image reads: "I really enjoy working in Caffi Dai meeting a lot of people, practicing my Welsh and coffee making skills." Sam is holding a tray. On the tray are two coffees, some teaspoons and napkins. The text on the image reads: "I've attended lots of training sessions and achieved an accredited certificate in customer service with Adult Learning Wales." Carys is sat behind the till at a computer. The text on the image reads: "I love making coffees on the machine. Lattes and cappuccinos are my favourite." Karl is drizzling a dressing over a cake in the kitchen. The text on the image reads: "One of my highlights was learning how to bake cherry Bakewell's with Meg, a mentor and the cafe's chef."

- Much more!
Because every learner, no matter what, should be seen🌻
