Right now I am teaching this new intern the first steps of the process: how to read a caliper, learning how to saw (first a straight line, then curves and later figures). Later I will also teach him other "basics" like calculating sizes and things like chemistry and metallurgy. Later I will also let him get out of the workshop, the "safe environment," more often and have contact with customers. When that goes smoothly and thus the social skills and other qualities needed to get an MBO education and further in society are up to par, he will probably go for the real training at the School of Jewelry Making , but another education is still a possibility. Hopefully I will see him back in year four as an intern in the workshop!
