Taking A Chance On Yourself; a story of young people beating the pandemic
November 30, 2020
There isn’t a social group, generational bracket or demographic sector that hasn’t been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic; by its very nature it has been indiscriminate and has not paused to be selective over who it holds in its grip. To some, it has caused some minor lifestyle shifts, to others it has caused a tidal wave of unforeseen tragedy. And there are lots of people in between; different people affected in different ways.
A Temple Of Sustainability Again: How CEG are helping work towards a carbon neutral Leeds

You can set up a business that has a global reach and run it from your spare bedroom, or you can just travel the world with your work if you want to. But then those opportunities aren’t open to everyone, and a more traditional approach to careers and learning a trade is perfectly valid and still works for some people.
