The clock is ticking down for the spectacular EXPO 2010 event being held at Accrington & Rossendale College 27th & 28th January.

Preparations are already in an advanced stage for the college to host the biggest information, advice and guidance road show for year 9 students from all the major high schools across the Hyndburn, Rossendale and Ribble Valley region.

Almost 100 businesses, public sector organizations and district councils have already agreed to attend to influence students on a pathway to a career and focus them on which diplomas to study.

The event being organised by Lancashire Education Business Partnership has been overwhelmed by the response and the generosity of the businesses in the community plus others from all over the North West and the UK.

Workshops, presentations and information stands will be active over the two day period with 1500 students visiting per day. Sectors of the media have also shown great interest in the event and are keen to promote and be involved.

With just weeks to go the excitement is mounting, and the EXPO team at Lancashire Education Business Partnership, are busy putting the finishing touches to the event. It is not too late to get involved, make a note in your diary to come along and help support and encourage the students to make decisions on a brighter future.
