A TEESSIDE woman has been named as the region's Prince's Trust Coach of the Year.
Caroline Dott, from Hartlepool, was selected from five nominees for the title at an award ceremony at the Tall Trees Hotel, in Yarm.
She was nominated by her Stockton Riverside College colleague Liz Dixon.
Ms Dixon said: "I am always amazed by Caroline's seemingly effortless ability to fit in with an already established team - this, along with taking on unfamiliar locations, contacts, projects and a multitude of other things."
Ms Dott, who joined the Prince's Trust Faculty at Stockton Riverside College in 2002, said: "I'm delighted to have won and feel so lucky to have a job I enjoy."
Her name will go forward for a place on the shortlist for the UK finals.
Stockton Riverside College has been involved with the Prince's Trust for eight years, attracting an average of 300 students per year to its programmes.
Of these, 70 per cent go on to further education or employment, representing one of the best success rates in the country.
