Following on from our recent article about Witham having the fast rising rates of youth unemployment, this week we speak to an unemployed teenager desperate for a job, and an employer who cannot find anyone to fill his vacancies.
Liam Lizzimore, 16, has applied for 50 jobs and apprenticeships since February and is looking for an apprenticeship as a mechanic or construction.
Meanwhile, Peter Sims, managing director of construction firm Simcott in Newland Street, Witham, is looking for two apprentices - but cannot find anyone to fill them.
Full story in this week's Witham and Braintree Times.
