The post-16 world is one of adventure, wonderful choice and countless possibilities. It can be difficult knowing what is out there and how to navigate the choices available. The Next Gen Choices Fair can help young people see what options are open to them following their GCSEs. The fair showcases the wealth of opportunities out there and will bring together FE Colleges, sixth form colleges and apprenticeship providers, plus training companies and employers, from across the North and West Yorkshire to help young people see what could lie ahead. Come along between 4-7pm where pupils, parents and carers can explore their options, with a rolling programme of live demonstrations throughout the evening
