Dundee City Council has given a group of aspiring youngsters paid internships to help them shape their future careers.
The local authority has taken part in the Career Ready initiative, which gives school children in S5 and S6 a kick-start in their chosen calling and help with vital life skills. It includes a four-week paid internship across various departments of the council, with their contributions justly rewarded.
As well as working behind the scenes with council staff, the teens were given mock job interviews and training courses to help them prepare for the world of work. Reviews from the youngsters have been glowing.
