Description

A series for school leavers were Maxine Mawhinney, guides the viewer through several career pathways and speaks to the people working in them. 

Leaving home for the first time can be a challenging, even traumatic, event. Here, young people share their recollections of moving out of the family home and discuss what they learned from this hugely formative experience.

We are first introduced to Deena, who when leaving school had few qualifications. However, after going to the Youth Training Programme she acquired new confidence as she learnt how to deal with certain situations and was trained as a receptionist. Deena then explains what her current job is and what it entails. 

The second half of the programme sees a studio panel discuss the issues raised by the young people.
