Want to avoid ending up in a job-free zone? A video from the days when youth opportunities generally meant no opportunities.
A campaign video produced by the Birmingham Trade Union Resource Centre, designed to help guide young people through the pitfalls of the job market. With a little help from genius animator Steve Bell and his satirical Falklands penguins, familiar to Guardian readers of the time, the video attempts to help young people negotiate a daunting work environment - from a lack of equality in the workplace, to health and safety rules, and the benefits of joining a union.
With case studies shot in Birmingham, Sheffield and Islington this video reminds us of the days when making the wrong youth training choice could result in a nine-to-five job spent boiling a kettle or sweeping a floor.
A video produced by the Trade Union Resource Centre in Birmingham, giving advice to young people who are starting out in work.
