PLANS are already under way for a major annual careers event for young people in East Lancashire.

Pendle Training, which organises the event, has confirmed that Jobs Night 2004 will take place at its premises in Netherfield Road, Nelson, on Thursday, February 19.

The annual jobs festival focuses on modern apprenticeships and opportunities for young people aged between 16 and 24.

The event has always proved especially popular with students in year 11 at school, who plan to leave school after their exams in the summer.
