TWO events will take place later this week to offer advice and help to young people who have just received their GCSEs and want to know what they can do next.

The What Next? events in Bradford and Keighley are being set up to help young people who want advice on which options are open to them once they have their GCSE results.

The two free events take place on Thursday from 11am to 3.30pm in Centenary Square, Bradford and Friday from 11am to 3.30pm at the Airedale Centre, Keighley.

Organised by Bradford Council and Prospects, the events will include information and support from the Bradford Apprenticeship Hub, colleges, training providers and Connexions advisors.

Staff attending the events will explain to young people what options they may have to find an apprenticeship, choose a college course, what sixth forms across the district are offering and which training courses are available.

Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, Portfolio Holder for Education, Skills and Culture, said: "It’s a tense time for young people as they receive their results so we’ve organised these events to show them some of the different options available. The events will offer impartial advice to help young people consider what their next step could be in their career.”
