A new initiative to help school leavers find the right path to employment has been launched.

First Steps, a programme of events by Motivation and Personal Success Ltd (MaPS) invites 16 to 18-year-olds to learn vital work skills in a positive and fun environment.

Events include work trials, team games and further education tasters. The programme is designed to make it easier for students making their first post-school choices.
