Where's Jamie?...
If you've ever played Where's Wally? you'll know the challenge is spotting someone who's always in the middle of the action. That's Jamie, as Operative Assistant.
Described by his manager as having "hit the ground running", Jamie is a motivated, conscientious individual who learns quickly and gets straight into the work with his team setting up varied event layouts, etc. Whether it's maintenance tasks, accuracy in the fine details of practical operative work or supporting his team, he's always keen to get involved and give 110% in all three of his internships. At Virgin hotel, Atec24 and the Assembly rooms.
Reliable, hardworking and a true team player throughout. Jamie is now looking for opportunities in maintenance, facilities, operative and other hands-on roles.

SUCCESS - Congratulations to Diego! 🎉
The whole Project SEARCH team are incredibly proud to celebrate Diego securing an administration role with The City of Edinburgh Council.
From the very beginning, Diego has always pushed himself to step outside of his comfort zone and challenge himself to grow. Through hard work, determination and a real commitment to his own personal and professional development, we’ve seen his confidence flourish over the course of the programme.
Diego is articulate, thoughtful and always willing to learn. Whether developing workplace skills, building professional relationships or taking on new challenges, through every opportunity he learnt how to approach challenges with maturity and positivity.
Reflecting on his journey, Diego shared: “Project SEARCH shows there’s always a way to improve our careers and look forward.”
Diego’s outlook, confidence and aspirations have grown throughout his internships through Edinburgh Project SEARCH.
His success is a brilliant example of what DFN Project SEARCH is all about, helping young people gain real workplace experience, build transferable skills and move into employment with confidence.
