This fall Tamala Marley, Job Coordinator for CES, approached the Greenville Career Tech Center for assistance in designing a new tri-fold brochure to enhance their marketing program. The SCM students offered their services and the collaboration began.
Ms. Marley came into the SCM classroom and shared her ideas and goals for the project. The students in both the Junior SCM class and the Senior SCM class got to work in teams of two creating their personal brochure as they understood the goals. After completion the students reviewed all of the projects and voted on the top three options to submit to the CES program for review. The winning brochure was selected and a few small revisions made. Ms. Marley’s Team was excited for the creative outcome and look forward to using it to increase awareness for the program in the community.
Senior
SCM student Adam Hickerson, explained,
“It was nice to work for a business in our community. The experience taught us
how to take others ideas and guidelines to create something that is appreciated
and can have a positive impact on the community.”
The
senior SCM students recently toured Wayne Industries to see the how the
facility functions and how the brochure will benefit the workers. While on tour, the students had an
opportunity to speak with a Wayne Industries employee. He explained to the
students he enjoys working at both Wayne
Industries and Arby’s. His job at Arby’s
is part of the Community Employment Services program! Jobs like this allow the workers the
opportunity to be more self sufficient and successful! “I enjoyed experiencing the job site of Wayne
Industries. It was neat to see the
employees working, but made me realize even more how important this brochure is
to allowing them to make more money and
support themselves,” said Brian Bailey after the tour.
Tara Guillozet, the creator of the chosen
brochure shares, “Having the opportunity to work with Tamala Marley with CES
and create this brochure has given me real life experience. She knew what she
wanted. We made it happen!”
