FORMER students of a college which helps disabled adults into work returned to their old classrooms to talk about the skills needed to find a job.

Past students of Finchale Training College, near Durham, joined employers and agency leaders in talking to current trainees about employability.

Among the speakers were representatives of Jobcentreplus, Recruitment Now, the Northern Pinetree Trust, Durham County Council and Carl Williams Accountancy.

"If they use it wisely it will be of massive benefit as they undertake their job search.

"Our speakers are all experts in their field and they advice and guidance they offer is second to none.
