A 'significant' gap between skills needed in the school and the workplace is being addressed by a section of the Island's business community.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce is launching a training module to teach school or college leavers what will be expected of them in the workplace.
The course will cover communication, office etiquette, compliance with regulations and how to appeal to employers.
President of the Chamber, Helen Okell, says the idea came after she struggled to fill a trainee position (audio file attached):
