Young people looking for training or apprenticeships can get help with the Start Today campaign organised by Durham County Council’s One Point service.
It can match-up vacancies available for 16 to 19 year olds who are not in education, employment or training. The vacancies can be accessed in an on-line booklet at: www.help4teens.co.uk/start
One Point personal advisors can also give information, advice and guidance to young people who are unclear about their future career paths. They are available on 03000 261 111.
The campaign, now in its third year, saw 350 young people sign up to apprenticeships or training during January to March last year.  During the same period, the on-line booklet was accessed on the Help4Teens website by more than 35,000 people.
