Earlier this month, Megan Duffy, from Gourock in Inverclyde, was announced as the overall winner of The Recruit – a personal development programme based on the television series The Apprentice.
Amazingly, Megan receives a prize including a position paying £14,000 a year with T-Mobile and a course of driving lessons. A further 11 recruits, who are all from the fifth and sixth year, also secured jobs with a number of local businesses including five more roles at T-Mobile, as well as jobs at Inverclyde Council and RBS.
