TEENAGER Chris Porter, of Tadcaster, pictured, is the star of a new campaign that aims to help young people find suitable employment training.
The 18-year-old is featured in a prospectus and on a website about modern apprenticeships created by the Learning and Skills Council.
Their campaign aims to show people aged between 16 and 24 the options available if they want to work and qualify at the same time.
Chris, who has been a modern apprentice in sport and leisure at Tadcaster swimming pool for two years, said his job enabled him to gain qualifications while getting paid.
