Help is on hand for young people in County Durham looking for training or apprenticeships.
The One Point ‘Start Today’ campaign is being launched in time for students receiving their exam results and is a guide to what opportunities are available.
All the latest information on vacancies will be in schools as well as online at www.help4teens.co.uk/start. One Point personal advisors can also offer information, advice and guidance to young people who are unsure about their future career paths.
A similar initiative launched in January this year was successful in signing-up more than 300 young people to training and apprenticeship schemes.
Chris Peverall, One Point service manager, Durham County Council, said: “There are a vast range of local opportunities on offer.  We urge young people, aged 16 to 19 and not in education, training or employment to check out our information online or contact one of our expert advisors.”
