A £400,000 investment will help local employers tap into a wealth of talent.
The cash is being put into the Lancashire and Cumbria Work Experience Network which organises work placements for graduates and students from local universities and colleges.
"The network will play an important role in improving the performance of local organisations in Lancashire through placements and ensure that the wealth of talent and skills being developed at local universities will be maximised," said Alan Dick, managing director of Alan Dick Engineering of Blackburn who also chairs the network's steering group.
