Case Study 1

Deborah Rhodes, 18, has recently won a career makeover after attending a training, education and recruitment exhibition at Grimsby Town Hall organised by the Grimsby & Scunthorpe Media Group.

Deborah was awarded a new set of work clothes from Marks and Spencer, a laptop, interview skills training and a chance to study for an NVQ with North East Lincolnshire Council.

Deborah, who wishes to study business administration, said: "I was shocked at first. I couldn't believe it. It's great for me though as I can now get at a better shot at a career I want."

The organiser of the event Lynne Hope said: "The response has been fantastic and we hope that people realise the opportunities that are there for them."

Deborah received her prizes from Marks and Spencer Store Manager Mark Robson, Lynne Hope, Exhibition Organiser, Susan Simpson, NVQ Curriculum Manager NELC and Tracey Short, customer assistant.
