YOUNG people are being offered the opportunity to get a career after a leading youth charity secured a cash boost to help them.
Musicians and would-be businessmen and women could be given the start they need after the Prince's Trust was awarded £62,500 from the West Middlesbrough New Deal for Communities Partnership.
The trust is looking to help 40 people aged 14 to 30 in gaining careers.
Regional director David Beavis said: "The Prince's Trust exists to help young people to realise their potential.
"The numbers being helped, particularly in the North-East, are growing year-on-year."
Anyone interested in taking advantage of the Prince's Trust's funding opportunities should contact Nicola Meredith on 07909 545 000.
