Stuggling to find work

Advertisement

Jamie Rigby, 24, has been unemployed since the Vestas wind turbine factory on the Isle of Wight shed 425 jobs earlier this year.

He was among workers who occupied the factory in protest, so he hasn't received any redundancy pay.

Things are now getting really tight. There are few opportunities in manufacturing on the Isle of Wight where he lives and although he wants to retrain, he doesn't know how he will be able to afford it.
