PEOPLE are being urged to kick-start their careers at Kirklees College.

A special event was held in Huddersfield town centre aimed at giving more information on the courses on offer at the newly-merged Huddersfield Technical College and Dewsbury College.

Staff were on hand to discuss courses that the college has on offer and answer any questions.

The college runs a variety of courses, ranging from hospitality and catering to teacher training. It offers full-time, part-time and adult education courses for qualifications or leisure.

The event outside the bus station allowed people to test their footballing skills in a football speed gauge, which records the fastest goal, and via a target football cage, which measures the accuracy of shots.
