YOUNG people across Inverclyde can increase their employability skills in two sporting academies launching later this month. 

The team at Street League will be running a 12-week personal development programme, and a 12-week customer service course, from April 15. 

Supported by Inverclyde Council and funded by the UK Government, the projects are aimed at young people aged 16 to 19 who are not in education, employment or training. 

Participants will get help with CV-writing, job applications and interview skills, and will have access to free sport and fitness sessions.
