John Korzeniewski, Regional Director at the LSC in the North West, commented: “Even in the current economic climate, the response for this year’s event has been encouraging. It is an important date in our calendar and provides the perfect opportunity for young people to meet with employers, colleges and training providers to find out more about what they have to offer and to have a go at the interactive skills activities.
”With more young people than ever facing an uncertain employment future, it’s so important that they have access to high quality information about the options available to them when they leave school or college. Whatever their dream job or ambition may be, they can find out how to realise it at Skills North West.”
