CKMA urges members to attend business/schools event

MANUFACTURING firms in Kirklees and Calderdale will get the low-down on working with schools at an event next month.

Calderdale and Kirklees Manufacturing Alliance is urging member firms to attend a Business/Schools Increase Collaboration event to be held from 4pm to 6pm on Thursday, February 7, at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Headteachers, business co-ordinators and a number of pupils will attend the event in the stadium’s Revell Ward Suite.

Company bosses, training and personnel managers as well as young employees from industry are invited to attend.

A spokesman for CKMA said: “Where schools are collaborating with businesses we are able to produce more informed, work-ready young employees and ultimately get more young people into employment.
