Enterprise skills for disabled students

Nkeesha Goodridge, 26, is currently on the transition course at Lambeth college and is looking for work. To improve her chances of finding a job she has started volunteering as a secretary at Handicap International one day a week. She would eventually like to get paid work in an office environment.

Her short film showcases the second-hand book stall that her and her fellow students run in the foyer of the college. The book stall gives the group employability and teamworking skills, and a chance to raise money for charity.
