Chris Demspy, 23, from Cumbernauld, had been out of work for six years.  He has now secured a job as a result of North Lanarkshire's Working teaming up with contact centre services company beCogent and Jobcentre Plus. 

A group of Lanarkshire families have spent their summer getting ready to give unemployment the red card with the help of Motherwell Football Club.

A training programme called Fit for Your Family's Future was launched by North Lanarkshire's Working in partnership with the club on 20th July.
