Charity throws line to entrepreneurs
The Hull-based CatZero charity yesterday announced a new venture for 16 to 24-year-olds in East Yorkshire that is being backed by three major local employers.
The first CatZero Enterprise Programme will begin later this month thanks to £50,000 of investment from city-based engineering specialists the Spencer Group and JobCentre Plus.

Hide AdRecruits will face a tough 24-hour selection process where they will have to display their resilience and resourcefulness before beginning a 10-week course that aims to give them all the skills needed to start up their own business.
The course will include a 48-hour sailing element.
Subject to match-funding, further programmes will be partly financed by £25,000 donations from the Sewell Group and the Horncastle Group.
