The programme, supported by local businesses, Michelin, Boots, Fujitsu, Dundee Rep Theatre, Robertsons Tayside and D.C. Thomson, have provided those young people, some from the more challenging economic areas within Dundee, with an introduction to some of the essential skills and attributes employers require and value. The experience gained by our young people is critical to the success of them achieving and sustaining a positive destination on leaving school. 137 Shepherdess Walk London N1 7RQ I T: +44 (0) I President HRH The Prince of Wales I Chairman Antony Jenkins I Chief Executive Amanda Mackenzie OBE Business in the Community is registered in England and Wales (297716) and Scotland (SC046226).

The volunteers are either carers or excarers and would also benefit from some IT training. The centre has a few Android tablet pc s and would like to be in a position where they can Skype carers in their own homes when they are unable to make it to the centre.
