YOUNG people in North Yorkshire are being offered the chance to see how their county council really works as part of Takeover Day next month.

Young people will be able to work alongside decision-makers and senior officers in different departments of the local authority for a day.

The initiative has been designed to give young people the opportunity to experience the world of work and make their voices heard, while adults and the organisation gain a fresh perspective on what they do.

Earlier this year five young people from the young people's council, North Yorkshire youth council and school councils, had the chance to “takeover” a variety of senior roles within local police and council services.

It was such a great success that the council agreed to do it again and Takeover Day, is coming to North Yorkshire on November 21.
