The award categories include, outstanding work experience student, outstanding intern, outstanding apprentice, outstanding support to a young person, outstanding business contribution to growing Gloucestershire, and exceptional achievement.
Cllr Mark Hawthorne, leader of Gloucestershire County Council, said: “I hope this year will be bigger and better than last year as we have already had a lot of entries for the Showcase Awards. There is still time to nominate; if you know of a motivated young person, someone who has overcome a personal challenge or if you have been supported by an organisation we would like to hear from you.”
The deadline for entries is 4pm on 31st July 2015.
