MORE than 100 unemployed young people will show prospective employers what they can do at an event next week.

The event, on Thursday, July 18, will allow youngsters aged between 16 and 24 to showcase their talent and to speak to prospective employers about what is expected of them and what local firms are looking for.

The council is looking for businesses to attend the Windsor Suite at King George’s Hall, Blackburn, with a view to offering youngsters advice on their CVs, interviewing, any other forms of feedback and work experience placements.
