Services/focus of the Karten Centre
Enham’s Karten Centre’s are a major part of the Route to Independence programme (R2I). The Karten Centre gives our clients the opportunity to develop their ICT skills and use these skills to enable them to become more independent. These skills are practised and learned through projects like EnhamBay, Photography, Computer Animation, New Media & Project Admin.
In Cedar prints’ Karten Centre, clients are also responsible for producing bespoke mugs and canvasses to a high-quality standard for customers in and outside of Enham.
