AN event aimed at encouraging women and girls to consider careers in traditionally male-dominated industries is being held in Keighley.
Anyone is welcome to attend the free event, taking place at the town's college on International Women's Day – Friday, March 8 – between 11am-1pm.
Organising the initiative are Keighley Town Council and the Soroptimists.
Companies and organisations showcasing opportunities will include Byworth Boilers, Cosurica, Incommunities, the Department for Work and Pensions, West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, Yorkshire Water, Keighley Bus Company and West Yorkshire Police. There will also be a workshop run by Plumb Learning.
A spokesperson says: "We're bringing together representatives from different areas of work, alongside community groups and organisations that champion women.
"There's no need to book, just come along."
