Craig recently completed his studies at InFocus college to pursue a career in hospitality.

Having successfully completed a supported internship alongside his studies, Craig secured a new role at Eat That Frog in Paignton. Here, Craig developed new skills working in the kitchen. Having built up significant hospitality experience, and most importantly confidence, Craig then went on to commence a part-time paid position at Barton Hall in Torquay.

“My advice to students is to stick at what you’re good at, and persevere with it! You can get there in the end with hard work”.

Today, Craig has landed a fantastic opportunity at Gaia Coffee, a community led, not-for-profit coffee shop in Paignton. Craig has ambitious dreams this year to complete a Baking and Cake Decorating course to one day become a professional cake decorator.

We’re so proud of Craig for pursuing his passions and navigating the world of work with confidence in his abilities. Despite having a vision impairment, Craig has showed that with hard work and determination, the possibilities are endless.
