Keiran Gordan of Greater Merseyside Connexions will join local employers, educators and industry leaders to discuss how young Manx people can be better prepared for the world of work.
Preparing Young People for Work is being held at Mount Murray hotel on Wednesday and is jointly hosted by the departments of economic development and education.
