Welcome to our October 2015 issue of Supporting Inspiration; bringing you all the latest news from the Supporting Inspiration network.

Since our Summer 2015 Results Day special issue, we've been pretty busy! Supporting Inspiration was officially launched in the North East, and our new website has gone live; participants of Supporting Inspiration can now access the website to search for schools, colleges and employers interested in providing or organising a whole range of careers activities., as well as read and download the wealth of careers resources we produce.

The website also contains an ever-increasing amount of careers and labour market information and resources which can be used by practitioners and careers educators to ensure all young people have access to the information needed to make the most informed choices about their future.

It's not all about us, though - In this issue, we also want to focus on some of the great opportunities and initiatives taking place around the North East; we'll hear from apprentices working with Ford Engineering, find out about the web design interns at Geek Talent and learn a little more about the latest in advanced manufacturing in the North East from the BBC's own Steph McGovern.

Thank you for all your support over the past few months, and for being involved with Supporting Inspiration.

We hope you find our magazine useful and informative. If you have any ideas for future articles or would like to offer feedback, please contact our editor Paul McAloon at [email protected]
