A huge event to help young people into apprenticeships is being held today at Bury Town Hall.

More than 100 places are up for grabs to help those aged 16-24, who are not in employment, education or training, start their career journey.

There are opportunities in catering, hair and beauty, administration, childcare, customer services, electrical, health and social care, IT, retail, dental, and teaching assistants.

The event is part of the Backing Young Bury project, which is run by the council and its partners, and runs from 10am to 4pm in the Elizabethan Suite.
