A woman who found herself at a crossroads when she was unexpectedly made redundant pledged to help young people who were "left behind".
Claire Cook was a single mum of a newborn baby and young daughter when she was made redundant ten years ago but decided to make a change. Faced with a recession and thousands of families struggling, the Speke mum used her experience to help young children with their education and employment opportunities.
Employability Solutions was born soon after and it has since gone from strength to strength as they help young people out of poverty and over their barriers through education. Employability Solutions is a registered independent school that provides an alternative secondary education for young people who thrive in a more nurturing environment compared with mainstream school.
