On the programme today:
- with the majority of GCSE results out on Tuesday and A Levels not far behind, we were joined by Nigel Howard, Principal Youth Officer for Dept Education Sport and Culture, and Careers Advisor Kerry Moir. They came in to talk to us about all manner of things related to young people on the Island, including a weekly initiative in the North of the Island that is offering advice about Jobs, Education and Training for students after results day. The 'JET' scheme runs every Friday of the school holidays at Ramsey Town Hall from 1pm to 3pm, Telephone Kerry on 685179 or email: kerry.moir@gov.im
There will be advice available for students post-results, Island wide, at the Job Centre in the last 2 weeks in August.
You can find out about all the various clubs and activities Nigel mentioned on the programme by visiting the IOM Youth page.
- also today, we found out who topped the BBC History Magazine’s reader's poll of the Top 100 most significant women in history;
- and looked at how much exercise is good for your mental health as one of the largest studies of it’s kind has today revealed the amount of exercise you need to do to combat black moods.
