Monday, 8 October 2018 07:00

An event which gives young people the opportunity to learn about the manufacturing industry is coming to Bradford College.

Bradford Manufacturing LIVE forms part of the events schedule for Bradford Manufacturing Week (8-12 October) – an awareness week which aims to put the spotlight on the industry and inspire young people to consider a career in the sector.

Organised by recruitment specialists The Works in conjunction with social media and PR consultancy Approach, Bradford Manufacturing LIVE is being held in the College's Dye House Gallery in the Lister Building on Thursday 11 October, and will include a live Twitter Q&A as well as on the spot questions from up to 100 local students aged between 14-18.

Panellists prepared to take the questions include international chemicals and detergents manufacturer Christeyns, refrigeration specialists EPTA George Barker and Keighley Laboratories, who specialise in the heat treatment of metals.

Creator of Bradford Manufacturing Week, Nick Garthwaite, president of Bradford Chamber and MD of international chemicals and detergents manufacturer Christeyns, said: “Bradford Manufacturing Live is one of a number of events in the Bradford Manufacturing Week calendar and we are delighted to have an opportunity for young people to voice the questions they have of the manufacturers and the apprentices themselves. Using Twitter questions alongside the live audience means we can open out the conversation even more and engage as many young people and schools as possible.”
