At least one in every two young people faces the prospect of leaving school for the dole queue this year. Should they stay on or make a fresh start in further education? What can a Youth Opportunities Programme offer them?
How will the government's new training initiative affect them? Should they consider voluntary or community work? Is self-employment a realistic option? Call and talk to Ray Hurst, Honorary

Handbook.
Sue MacGregor is in the Chair.
