A new specialist training college has been set up to help young Londoners interested in a career in the armed forces or public services gain valuable education and experience.
The Motivational Preparation College for Training (MPCT) in Croydon will work with young people aged 16 to 19 to develop functional skills, physical fitness and self confidence, with a view to achieving paid employment in public services and the armed forces.

Over that time, more than 4,000 young people have gone onto employment, education and training opportunities, while more than 2,000 young people have enlisted into the armed forces.
