A group of youngsters are heading onwards and upwards after a grilling in the Dragon's Den.
The so-called NEETS - young people who are not in Education, Employment or Training - took part in a four-week programme organised by Training Services at the Department of Economic Development, to help them prepare for work within the hospitality and service sectors.
They then had to give a Dragon's Den style presentation in front of a group of local 'dragons', including Tony Wild MLC, public services manager for Manx National Heritage Howard Parkin, and head of culture and arts at the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure Dawn Maddrell.
Mr Parkin believes the NEETS can now go on to greater things:
Ramsey MIU to close temporarily ahead of relocation of services
Storm Bram: Trees down amid widespread disruption
Treasury presents 2025-26 Department Plan to Tynwald
Further adjournment for attempted murder accused
Risk of overregulation ahead of Moneyval has led to 'friction'
