WAYS of helping young people into employment will be the subject of the district's next public forum for education.
The event – at Leeds City College Keighley Campus on January 28, 4.30pm – will examine how schools and higher and further education institutions, as well as families, can assist.
Speakers will cover issues such as better preparing young people for work.
Councillor Ralph Berry, Bradford Council's portfolio holder for children's services, said: "This is a very important topic for our district.
"Providing young people with the right skills and experience and a choice of pathways is key to supporting them into employment.
"Anyone with an interest is welcome to come along."
Michael Jameson, strategic director of children's services, said the forum was an excellent opportunity to hear about and share good practice.
"We have some fantastic initiatives across our district which are helping young people into employment," he added.
Anyone interested in attending the event should e-mail Public.Forum.for.Education@bradford.gov.uk or contact Heidi Hardy on 01274 434335.
