Six youths have been recruited by Liverpool City Council to promote energy efficiency to local residents.
The young people will be working with the Healthy Homes Programme and engaging with residents through appointments, door-to door surveys, and at local events across the city.
The trainees are all between 16 and 18 and were not in education, employment or training.
The opportunity provides them with six months' employment, and a real work experience of supplying and fitting free low energy bulbs in the homes of vulnerable residents.
They will also be providing a free energy monitoring service to help residents identify opportunities to reduce their energy consumption, attend events which promote energy efficiency and support environmental health officers with support using thermal cameras to identify problems with residents homes.
