Bradford Manufacturing LIVE forms part of the events schedule for Bradford Manufacturing Week, held between October 8 and 12, an awareness week which aims to inspire young people to consider a career in the sector.

The event is being held at Bradford College on October 11 and will include a live Twitter Q&A as well as on the spot questions from up to 100 local students aged 14-18.

Craig Burton, managing director from The Works recruitment, said: “As a recruiter we are planning our talent pipeline for five to ten years. By engaging young people now and introducing them to the real opportunities in manufacturing, however a tiny part we can play, is the right thing to do and we’d encourage every employer to do the same.”
